ok. I'll fix in -07 with s/MAY/can/.

ok. I'll fix in -07 with s/conform/is bit-by-bit equivalent/

A similar comment was raised by another reviewer. It was decided that 
this document will use the same convention of 6830bis (that doesn't have 
a figure with the V bit set).

ok. will fix in -07

I can't think of a strong reason why one would be better than the other, 
and I see no harm in allowing both behaviors. I'd leave the choice to 
the implementors.
