Re: CSVW WG requests PR transition - Editorial suggestions

[Re-sending in two parts. This is part 1.]

Well, Ivan's merge of Jeni's Pull Request has unfortunately introduced a
bug into the spec.  The beginning of section 5, the third item in the
list says: "3. metadata located through default paths which may be
controlled by a site-wide location configuration".  That is not correct.
  Default paths are *not* controlled by a site-wide location
configuration.  Default paths are used in the *absence* of a site-wide
location configuration.  *Non*-default paths are controlled by a
site-wide location configuration.   I already pointed out this mistake in
https://github.com/w3c/csvw/pull/778/files
before Jeni's PR was merged, but apparently my comment was ignored.

And while I'm in this section, there is also an incomplete sentence in
the NOTE just before section 5.1, which reads: "If there is no site-wide
location configuration, specifies default URI patterns or paths to be
used to locate metadata."  Perhaps that was intended to be: "If there is
no site-wide location configuration, default URI paths may be used to
locate metadata."

Thanks,
David Booth
