 The \openshmem model assumes that computation and communication are naturally
 overlapped. \openshmem programs are expected to exhibit progression of
-communication both with and without \openshmem calls. Consider a \ac{PE} that is
+communication both with and without \openshmem calls. For point-to-point
+operations, consider a \ac{PE} that is
 engaged in a computation with no \openshmem calls. Other \acp{PE} should be able
 to communicate (e.g., \OPR{put}, \OPR{get}, \OPR{atomic}, etc.) and
 complete communication operations with that computationally-bound \ac{PE}
 without that \ac{PE} issuing any explicit \openshmem calls. One-sided \openshmem
 communication calls involving that \ac{PE} should progress regardless of when
