 Description::
-This instruction behaves as if there is a conditional branch dependent on _rs2_ being equal to zero, wherein it branches to code that writes a 0 into _rd_ when the equivalence is true, and otherwise falls through to code that moves _rs1_ into _rd_.
-Accordingly, the syntactic dependency on _rs1_ is only propagated when the condition is false.
-This instruction has a control dependency on _rs2_, rather than a data dependency.
-Furthermore, this instruction's timing is independent of the data value of _rs1_ if the Zkt extension is implemented. +
+If _rs2_ contains the value zero, this instruction writes the value zero to _rd_.  Otherwise, this instruction copies the contents of _rs1_ to _rd_.
 
-In effect, if the value of register _rs2_ is zero, place 0 (zero) into the register _rd_; otherwise, place the value of register _rs1_ into _rd_.

-[NOTE]
-====
-These branch-based semantics do not prevent implementing this instruction as a simple select (e.g., "(rs2==0) ? 0 : rs1").
-Instead, they allow for more sophisticated implementations where a zero result can be returned when the condition (rs2==0) is true without waiting for _rs1_ to be available.
-Furthermore, implementations can predict the condition just as they might for branches.

+For the purposes of RVWMO, _rd_ syntactically depends on both _rs1_ and _rs2_.
+Furthermore, if the Zkt extension is implemented, this instruction's timing is independent of the data values in _rs1_ and _rs2_.

 == Usage examples
 
 The instructions from this extension can be used to construct sequences that perform conditional-arithmetic, conditional-bitwise-logical, and conditional-select operations.

-=== Alternative sequences with data-invariant timing
-
-The definition of `czero.eqz` and `czero.nez` does not generally guarantee data-invariant timing (although it guarantees independence of the value of one of its arguments, if the Zkt extension is implemented).
-
-However, sequences using instructions covered by Zkt are available to express the same semantics as for the `czero.eqz` and `czero.nez` instructions:
