Since all MicroXML documents are XML documents, they can be converted to
or from EXI without problem.

This describes itself as "guidelines on the use of the Unicode Standard
in conjunction with markup languages such as XML"; MicroXML is such a
markup language.

Eventually internal references will be hyperlinks; we already refer to
Appendix B in the second paragraph of the intro.

But we need that explanation.  Remember that our main audience is

We need to explain why they should take a second look.
