RE: [w3c sml] SML and SML-IF FPWD Submission

I assume July is meant rather than Aug.  Here are a couple of comments
that I would urge being fixed for FPWD.

 

Didn't we decide to include the Status of this Document sections as
drafted in issue 4877?  This should replace the Editors' Copy Status
statement.  (This comment pertains to both documents.)

 

SML document:

Section 2.2: In conformity with the decision to remove "IT" from the
abstract, it should also be removed from the definition of Model.

 

Section 3.2.2  EPR Scheme.  I don't know which is worse: having an
example that fails to illustrate what the text says it illustrates or
having an example that illustrates its point in an unacceptable way
(i.e., by using ReferenceParameters).  I actually think the former is
worse in this case, which is the current state of the text.  I would
recommend inserting an Editors' Note before the example to the effect
that the example is still "under construction."

Aug 30. The URI for the editors' drafts are listed at the top of the
