yes, I found it, but I find it still confusing. What about this:
This informality shall not lead readers to the conclusion
that rules can perform arbitrary actions in the real world.
It is beyond scope of the RIF WG to define the power that
rules have in implemented systems, or whether the effects of these
rules are to be processed and ultimately decided upon by a (human)
agent. RIF focusses on the exchange of rules to cater for both,
automatic and semi-automatic processing of rules.
Peter?
The rest of your changes sound good to me.
