"This is important because it limits what reference counted 
types." - I'm not sure what this means.

"The methods may or may not be final or inherited." - Should this 
be "final or virtual"?

"Any attributes are allowed on these methods." - I'm going to 
have to write a static analysis warning for marking these "const".

"Call is inserted only if the reference is not null" - Should 
this be "Call is executed only if the reference is not null"?

"</tt>opRelease</tt>" - Some markup escaped into the wild!

"The same is achievable with RCOs by means of @disable 
opAddRef();" - Suggestion: add some text stating that opRelease() 
must still be present and implemented.

"Attention must be paid to annotate with return all functions 
that return references to owned data" -> "Attention must be paid 
to annotate all functions that return references to owned data 
with `return`"
