It's saying that they didn't run a grammar checker on it and that the only 
reason there was no RCF is that they killed the easy submit process.

 "Any carry out of the 32-bit   addition is discarded. 
  The 64-bit intermediate result will have bits 0 to 31 of the results 
     forced to zeros, i.e., zeros are prepended to the result of the 32-
     bit intermediate addition."

I'm not -quite- sure what this is trying
to say on page 7-321 when describing
the LOAD LOGICAL INDEXED ADDRESS instructions:

    "Any carry out of the 32-bit
     addition is discarded. The 64-bit intermediate
     result will have bits 0 to 31 of the results are
     forced to zeros prepended to the result of the 32-
     bit intermediate addition."

I can make a guess that it is saying that the
value in the X2 register is treated as an unsigned
32-bit value, which is then added to the signed
D2 value to produce a 32-bit (signed?) intermediate
value.  The 32-bit signed intermediate value is
made 64-bits by ignoring bits 0-31 in the result.
(That's the "any carry out" part.)  That 64-bit
intermediate result is then truncated
to a 32-bit unsigned result by forcing bits 0-31
to zeros.

Does that sound right?
