Comments
This was a big addition to the spec, even if it was just inlining some text. You may want to consider whether a CSR is required.

Verified as "Fix Failed". A "re-do" bug needs to be created.

Since this changes was backed out by JDK-8235815, I believe it should be closed (verified) as "Fix failed" and a new bug created to track the original issue.

That changeset does far more than fix a couple of broken links! Please update the bug so that it accurately describes the changes.

I could not find any location in docs.oracle.com for these articles. I saw we have https://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~cs3283/ftp/Java/swingConnect/text/element_interface/element_interface.html and https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/java-timers-2207429.html but not sure if that can be used here.
