executing Monica's proposed change

Looking at the words to resolve Monica's issue, I find myself stumbling over the repetition of "to indicate that the subject supports WS-Addressing but does not require its use, " in successive sentences. Would anyone be perturbed if I exercised my editorial licence, and elided the second copy of this clause to a semicolon? What I'm suggesting is that we convert:
 
 In order to indicate that the subject supports WS-Addressing but does not require its use, an additional policy alternative should be provided which does not contain this assertion.  To indicate that the subject supports WS-Addressing but does not require its use, the compact authoring style for an optional policy assertion provided by WS-Policy V1.5 [link] may be used.  
 
into:
 
 In order to indicate that the subject supports WS-Addressing but does not require its use, an additional policy alternative should be provided which does not contain this assertion; the compact authoring style for an optional policy assertion provided by WS-Policy V1.5 [link] may be used.  
 
I believe this is as explicit, but somewhat easier to read.
 
If people (especially Monica) object, I'll use the former version.
