I ended up in a discussion of what "doing a read" in VSS means. In short, as of today that we say that a read returns actual value. This PR suggests to change the wording somewhat, so that a read unless otherwise specified shall return the actual value. I.e. it is not forbidden by VSS (project) to have a read-function that returns the desired value instead, but then that must be clearly specified in the corresponding implementation specification.

I.e. it is not forbidden by VSS (project) for implementations to have a read-function that returns the desired value instead, but then that must be clearly specified in the corresponding implementation specification.
This shall not impact VISS/VISSR.
