The document structure is described as a sequence of prose. Wouldn't it be better to describe it as a grammar using an established syntax such as ABNF, EBNF, or railroad diagrams? Our WG found the document much harder to comprehend that it might otherwise have been.

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.
