The spec update looks good to me.
The value object aware agents which depend om the `ObjectFree` event hooks to 
de-allocate native memory bound to the tagged objects can iterate over the 
value object related tagmap elements in order to work around the absence of the 
`ObjectFree` event hooks for value objects. I'm not sure if we need to add 
anything about it into the JVMTI spec.
