Ahead of today's meeting I've read through the document as it was at 11:00 GMT. One thing that struck me as a native speaker was that the language needed a but of polish here and there (this is not a criticism!) and looking in more detail at some aspects there were one or two W3C-style things that needed fixing too. So rather than give Ghis, Boris and Bernadette a long list I've made the changes directly. Main changes: - all target="_blank" attributes removed from hyperlinks; - removed conformance boilerplate and made all references informative - this is a Note, not a Rec so nothing is normative; - all shortened URIs replaced by target URI; - simplified English spelling to US-style throughout; - replaced data set with dataset throughout (I have no strong view but a quick survey on Twitter today suggests that the preference is to spell it without a space); - generally tidied up a few awkward bits of sentence construction. There are a few (I think 3) instances of <del>...</del>. These indicate my preference/view rather than a policy or English language norm - i.e. WG consensus is needed to make the changes (I can talk about them on the call later). I do not claim that the doc is now error free, but the number of typos etc should be less than it was.
