Sorry, I cannot wrap my mind around the paragraph, which you added at the
end of the intro. If you said that the appendix on rdf embedding defines
one possible RDF rule language based on RIF, then I could see it this
way. But it is not clear that this is what we are supposed to do. This
appendix is not about interchange. As an appendix to a section
about interchange, it creates an impression that it has something to do
with the main body of that section and with interchange.

I think you need to either find a place for that appendix in the grand
schema of things or delete it.
