Resolve VIRTIO-171: "-" as sentence device?

Should the TC accept changes listed in the description to resolve issue VIRTIO-171, for inclusion in specification version(s) "virtio 1.1 cs01", and future versions of the specification?

Please vote Yes if you agree with all of the following.
If you disagree, please vote No.
If you don't have an opinion, please vote Abstain.

I move that:
The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue:
VIRTIO-171: "-" as sentence device?
--------------------------------------
In 2.5 Virtqueues, the "-" hyphen appears to be a common precursor to "i.e." and elsewhere in the second sentence of that section. By count there are only seven (7) cases of - i.e.

Given the care taken produce this work, it should not be marred by non-standard English usage such as this.
--------------------------------------

The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification:
--------------------------------------
Recast the sentences in question to remove the hyphens and elsewhere when improperly used in sentences.

--------------------------------------

The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in specification version(s) "virtio 1.1 cs01", and future versions of the
specification.

Reminder: A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting rights. As
the Virtio TC has adopted a standing rule to conduct business only by
electronic ballot, without Meetings, a Voting Member who fails to cast a ballot
in two consecutive Work Product Ballots loses his or her voting rights at the
close of the second ballot missed.
