Great work, Alan!

[liach]

Proofread the text, appears very straightforward.

[pavelrappo]

Thanks for taking care of this and for taking on board my earlier suggestion from a core-libs-dev thread not to use "reset" when talking about re-asserting interrupted status. I can see that you chose "restore" instead. This is much better and matches, for example, "Java Concurrency in Practice".

[RogerRiggs]

Nice improvement.

[pavelrappo]

Looks good!
