Dear XBL experts,

This email comments on the 7 September 2006 LCWD of XBL 2.0.

In the introduction, the following sentences are wrong:
"XBL cannot be used to give a document new semantics. The meaning of a 
document is not changed by any bindings that are associated with it, 
only its presentation and interactive behavior."

Consider the following example and associate binding:

<text>This document is about XBL</text>

<binding>
<template>
<text>This document is not about XBL.</text>
</template>
</binding>

This binding shows it is possible to change the semantics of a document 
using XBL. Remove the sentences.
