As others have said previously, "I don't understand" :-) When you spoke of "taking the storage section out", my understanding was that it would then no longer form a part of the specification, not simply be delegated (if I may recycle Maciej's term) to a separate document. Now your response seems to indicate that by "taking out", you meant "moving to a separate document", in which case it is still logically a part of the overall specification, but no longer in the core document. Could you please clarify which of these two interpretations (if either) is correct ?
