http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5711

           Summary: Fuzzy phrase: "essentially the same".
           Product: SML
           Version: LC
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core

The definitions of sml:key and sml:unique state that the “semantics are
essentially the same as … but … can also be used …”. I think you mean that the
semantics are exactly the same except for the one difference noted. The phrase
“essentially the same” is fuzzy. To me it suggests that there may be other
differences. Note that this same language was used in keyref in the LC draft
but has been changed in the current editor's draft. A similar change seems
appropriate for key and unique.
