Sure.

Although… we will not have a call next week and the week after. Ie, we may have to handle this by email when we get to the editing round. Another option is that we leave this issue open until the final publication (sometimes in October); the publication before TPAC is only a draft anyway (ie, a stake in the ground).

Ie, a purely editorial round. This may include naming conventions, stylistic updates, but also identifying such general issues like the one you refer to. Let us see then what the best action is. I *expect* (but have not checked) that there are several cases where access control of the PWP may become an issue, beyond this one. If there are several, then we may add, for example in the introductory part, some sort of a disclaimer making it clear that we are aware of this problem, but we do not touch this in the use cases themselves to improve readability. Or something like that. If there are only a few, we can come up with a language to cover those.

The same concern applies to the unpackaged version as well, since it may be hosted by a service that doesn’t permit (or even support) annotations.  For example, consider my recent desire to comment on the PWP UCR document – which isn’t possible today with the server/system we use.
