Re: ORG: proposed Last Call draft for review

Dave,

Thanks very much for moving this forward so quickly.

I'm very pleased to see the conformance section as you've written it but 
have two comments:

1. Picking up on Richard's point about the line: "it does *not* use 
terms from other vocabularies instead of ones defined in this vocabulary 
that could reasonably be used." I think that's clear but it might make 
it very slightly clearer if the word 'instead' were emphasised.

Further:

* MAY include terms from other vocabularies;

could become:

* MAY include additional terms from other vocabularies;

2. I'd really like this to become boiler plate for all vocabularies if 
possible so I wonder if specific references to ORG can be removed from 
the conformance section thus:

* may use only a subset of ORG terms.

Becomes

* may use only a subset of terms defined here.

An 'ORG profile' becomes 'Application profile' or, if preferred, 
'Vocabulary profile'

Phil.
