Explanation of notation in the spec draft?

I'm a bit confused by the notation in the spec draft.  The section  
headings are quite clear, e.g.:

	"12.6.7  JDO Instance life cycle management"

But, within that same section, what does "A12.5.7-6A [...]" actually  
mean?  And why is something labeled "12.5.7" within the 12.6.7  
section?  Is this intended as a concise way to reference other parts  
of the spec?  I'm sure this is all quite logical, I just haven't had  
a proper introduction to it.  I'm sure others will find this  
information valuable, too.

Thanks,

- Chris Beams

The section numbers have changed as material is added, but we haven't 
changed the assertion numbers.

An assert, for use by the TCK. Something to check on.

No idea :-)
