Hi Martin, Thanks for the comments. I'll include the link into the final version I send out tomorrow. I think that the sentence you point out is too long, as you say. However, I think that the English doesn't read naturally (to me) in your version. How about this: >The goal of this document is to gather scenarios for using Web services in ways that require attention to language, culture, and internationalization. thanks, Addison > -----Original Message----- > From: Martin Duerst [mailto:duerst@w3.org] > Sent: Friday, December 20, 2002 12:04 PM > To: Addison Phillips [wM]; public-i18n-ws@w3.org > Subject: Re: Announcement (final draft) > > > Hello Addison, > > A few more detail comments.
