-This PER is an extension of PSR-12, and therefore also an extension of PSR-1.
+This PER extends, expands and replaces PSR-12, and is therefore also an extension of PSR-1.
 With PSR-12 being the base of this PER, a list of differences is provided below to assist with migration,
 but it should be considered as an independent specification.
 
+This PER will eventually incorporate and replace any stylistic requirements found in PSR-1.
+PSR-1 includes a number of non-stylistic requirements that affect runtime behavior, which are
+out of scope for this PER. If a particular rule is mentioned in both this PER and PSR-1,

+It is a goal of this PER to maintain style consistency between related old and new PHP syntax,

+It is not the intention of this PER to substantially or arbitrarily alter coding style guidelines found in PSR-1 and PSR-12.
