That is another way of putting it.  However, technically,
there is no "Java 1.1 Language Specification".  There is
the "Java Language Specification", there are some updates,
and there is the appendix you reference - which is an
appendix for a different book!

There is *no* public specification of Java that is anywhere
close to current and accurate.  (The standard Java libraries
are a joke, when it comes to documentation/specification.
Even the VM spec, which is the closest to being complete,
does not have a decent specification of the verifier.)
