Steve,
In [1], you submitted the following comment on the Last Call Working

Thank you for pointing out the potential difficulty in parsing this
sentence.
I have reworded the clause as follows: "Additional namespace nodes
may be present in the new tree if the serialization process did not
undeclare one or more namespaces. . . ." Note that "undeclared" has
become "did not undeclare" in response to a substantive comment. I hope
you will find that the new version is not so difficult to parse.
Thanks,
Henry
