Right, so it doesn’t give the required level of detail for optimized implementations, which is what memory-barriers.txt is doing.
I’m all for specific examples and I agree memory-barriers.txt is bordering on unusable, but what you suggested is still too simple to replace it.

One of the motivations for LKMM was the increasing difficulty of dealing with memory-barriers.txt. In fact, LKMM is intended to be an automated replacement for large portions of memory-barriers.txt.
