8078860: (spec) InputStream.read(byte[] b, int off, int len) claims to not affect element b[off]

[Joseph D. Darcy]

Hello,

I would say the text in question is a (slightly incorrect) attempt to 
provide some explicit informative implications of the preceding 
normative text of the spec, so a CSR is not required for this correction.

(There are other cases where a small correction would require a CSR.)

Thanks; HTH,
