Naturally, you already understand what XBL is for, but you aren't your audience. I don't care about the length or the actual wording. I just want the abstract to be accurate and reasonably comprehensive. I don't think that the current version is. Maybe others do. But in the end, I think there will be enough supporting documentation that as long as the technology itself is well-defined, the quality of the prose is of lesser importance.
