 The PyPy project plans to deliver a compliant language implementation
 passing all unit-tests of the current reference C-implementation that are 
 relevant to the new one. At least 90% of existing unit tests will be directly
-applicable. Moreover, we will be able to add techniques such as JIT compilation
++applicable.[*]_ Moreover, we will be able to add techniques such as JIT compilation
 without making the interpreter more complex. Thus we will get speed increases of
 2-10 times over the reference C-implementation. We expect algorithmic code to 
 run at least at 50% of the speed of pure, optimized C code.
 
+.. [*] The reference C-implementation contains some tests that depend on
+   implementation details. The exact line between a language feature and an
+   implementation detail might at times be hard to draw precisely, but in all
+   cases this only concerns a minority of the tests (less than 10%).
