It doesn't show up here in my system. And if you read the C specification,
you won't find it there either. It is platform specific - Windows defines
it, no one else.

This is requirements, not spec. The notes say:
"By providing an API for accessing common system services, such as memory
and filesystems, we can reduce the likelihood of a plugin not being portable
to a different OS. Specifically, the areas targetted by this API should be
the very areas where platforms differ."

I worded it as 'between entities' to indicate that it could be host->plugin,
plugin->plugin, or plugin->host. Maybe there's a better wording?

You're right. 8 and 9 are duplicate info. I'll delete 8 for the next
draft.
Thanks for the precise comments. I know to expect nothing less from you ;)
