One comment on the new attributes for accelerators. You have things like:

"The number of accelerator cards slots which are currently unoccupied by jobs and are free for new jobs in this Share to start immediately. The syntax is AcceleratorType:n, e.g. GPU:4 MIC:2 FPGA:1"

That kind of syntax is clumsy and hard to parse and verify for correctness. It would be better to create separate new objects for each accelerator type, with attributes like

Type: GPU
FreeSlots: 4
UsedSlots: 2

Also as a reminder, we had some errata for GLUE 2 that were kept somewhere in our document area - we should make sure that they get incorporated into the new document.
