I only have time now to just skim over this but it looks pretty good. 
  Are you hoping to get a "2012" ABI spec by the end of the year?

BTW, this wouldn't part of the ABI proper, but if we're making 
suggestions for Linux distros, maybe we can suggest that they ship 
helpful utilities like glxinfo and eglinfo.
