RE: feedback on Char Model

Hello Kuro-san,

Thankyou for your comment below.  We discussed this during a teleconference
[1] on the 20th Jan and concluded that your interpretation is indeed
correct, but that your rewrite contains errors.  The opinion of the group
was that we should leave the text as it is.

But thankyou anyway for taking the time to draw this to our attention.
