Last-minute PROV-XML review/proofread

Hello PROV-XML editors,

First, my apologies that I did not get around to reading the document
sooner, I was a bit short on time.

I've made a final pass over the latest editor's draft of the document, and
it looks very good. I could hardly find anything wrong with it, apart from
the minor things below.
So as far as I'm concerned: +1 for release as a Working Group Note. Thanks
for producing such a comprehensive and understandable document.

Minor things/remarks:

- In the boilerplate, it still says "Dublic Core" instead of "Dublin Core"

- In the section "Schema Modularization", it might be desirable to make the
mentions of "prov.xsd" etc. link to these schema's.

- I especially liked the "Elements vs. Attributes" section, since this
essentially gives future implementers of new extensions a manual to convert
their constructs to PROV-XML. Excellent!

- "Identifier Conventions": perhaps you could mention the workaround
specified in RDF/XMl to convert invalid QName URIs to valid ones? (see last
example PROV-Dictionary). Or do we want to discourage this?

- "Component 2: Derivations. The second component of PROV-DM is concerned
with: derivations of entities from other entities and derivation subtypes
WasRevisionOf (Revision), WasQuotedFrom (Quotation), and HasPrimarySource
(Primary Source)."
Why are WasRevisionOf and the other constructs capitalized? If I'm not
mistaken, they aren't mentioned like that anywhere else in the document.
Couldn't this be revised to the simpler: "derivation subtypes Revision,
Quotation, and Primary Source." ?

- same as above for the first paragraph of Component 3.

- same for Component 5

- I almost missed the specification that all PROV-XML document should have
a .provx extension. I'll change the extension of the example in
PROV-Dictionary

- The last line in the document says "ignore". Shall I ignore this and
assume it is to be removed? :)

Regards,
Tom
