Mostly looks good.

Trivially, regarding the use of implSpec in MemoryLayout; I think that the tag is just not needed, right? The statement is normative.  Though I have to admit to being confused on occasion as to the difference between some of these tags, see draft JEP [1] ). I think that implSpec could be argued for byteAlighment, since that method provides a default implementation, then again maybe the new no-explicit natural-ordering wording is still spec, and an implSpec could be added to cover the actual default implementation?

-Chris.
