Updates:

96Boards SOM spec will be requiring EBBR compliance when released at Linaro Connect in April.
SetVariable() language changes have been applied and a few minor editorial changes committed to the main repo.
Document is ready to be tagged "v0.8", and should pretty much be ready for a v1.0 release
Outstanding issue: The Appendix A implementation requirements is a carry-over from SBBR, and hasn't been scrubbed for the EBBR context
- Grant to do an investigation, compare with what is implemented in U-Boot, and propose changes to the appendix to match
  - Might remove "Required boot services" section if it is just a 1:1 mapping of what is in the UEFI spec. Grant to investigate.
  - Might remove "required protocols" section". Need to compare with what is implemented in U-Boot mainline.
  - Probably will remove "options protocols" section entirely. It doesn't provide any additional value compared with UEFI proper.
- Yang commented that it would be useful to have a description of what exactly is implemented in U-Boot compared with UEFI. Agreed would be useful, should be in a separate commentary document apart from the spec proper.
- Not a blocking issue. Will still release v1.0 on time if this issue remains

Release Plan:

Tag v0.8 immediately
Tag v1.0-rc1 early next week if there are no further comments
Tag v1.0 after next meeting in two weeks time.
