1) Doing this as PDF/Word documents makes it extremely painful to integrate.

2) I'm not sure the new text is actually better. E.g. it contains the
phrase "This specification defines how to authorize an instance of an
application from a foreign origin, executing in the user agent, to
access the representation of the resource in an HTTP response." Origin
is a user-agent centric concept. Turning it around seems unwise and is
inconsistent with the rest of the specification and any other
specification on the subject.

It's also not clear to me we need to reiterate what
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6454 already explains. That only
increases the room for error.
