"Changed GetProcAddress from EXT to ARB and from gl to glX(in anticipation of ARB
approval) in section 3.5.
3.6 (now that'll be a self-referential Changelog :).
Clarification:
"Does not require a context parameter."
Shouldn't this be:
"doesn't require a current context". I.e. can be called at any time.
Clarification:
"This function takes the string name of a GL or GLX extension entry point"
Misleading with respect to later:
"All OpenGL and GLX entry points may be queried with this extension"
Clarification:
"It is functionally identical to the wglGetProcAddress query defined by the
Windows OpenGL library"
should follow not preceed the link to the specification.

Heh. Nah, just get us full ARB meeting notes on this one. Although...
b.
Ceterum censeo:
"If the context independence requirement should not immediately meet
ARB approval, the requirement will be dropped from the Linux/OpenGL Base
proposal on the spot." ;-)
