Re: Lars's comments on the BP document (was: BP document is FROZEN pending vote to release next WD)

Hi Lars -

Your issue (3) relates to BP14 (I think) ... BP14 will get a thorough
review in this sprint. That said, I think the first of your suggestions is
correct, so I've queued that up in my working copy.

Regarding the editorial comments - thank you! Fresh eyes and all that.

(1), (2) and (3) are fixed in this commit [1] ... although I could only
find one of the "[[" instances for (2) - perhaps that was fixed already?

(4) was fixed in an earlier edit - you'll see a green note box-out in §8
CRS intro listing a few options for conversion tools.

Regarding (5), I've elected to keep the order as was. We had a discussion
on this during the London F2F and the working group concluded that we
wanted to provide material that went from easy (and widely useful) down to
edge cases. Hopefully you can live with that?

Jeremy

PS: I'm putting a discussion about sitemaps (BP4) on the agenda for
tomorrow's call for some further discussion.
