Given we're struggling amonst ourselves with the IA-32 I think that
suggests it is a very poor choice for an example.  Especially given
there are better cleaner examples to be had using other familar
architectures.  I would assume this is why people like H&P chose DLX
when describing CPU architectures.

It's my understanding that folks disagree about exactly what the raw
bits should be.  But we all agree that the raw registers should
represent the actual underlying bits only once, and that MMi / ST(j)
should be cooked registers that alias each other in the right way.  Is
that much, at least, correct?
Yep.
