RE: [All] RE: comment on N-ary relations draft

Good point. The convention I refer to was agreed by the working group to
make it easy to use filters to read about only the task forces of
interest.
You could not have known this.

I suggest we consider adding some instructions somewhere so that
reviewers are aware of this convention.   Are there any disadvantages?
