I agree, it would be good to attach draft text for the SKOS Core Guide to each proposed change.  I had planned to do that where changes to existing prose in the guide are the subject of a proposal.  However, I think it would be acceptable for new prose for the guide to be drafted and discussed during the review, providing that a change proposal has been already been published, discussed and approved in principle.

Looking at [1], I reckon the current proposals require the following changes to the SKOS Core Guide ...

 - subjectIndicatorUse-1

No change to the guide.

 - notes-2

Requires redrafting of the section [http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-swbp-skos-core-guide-20050510/#secdocumentation] specifically the list of documentation properties, the property hierarchies, and also addition of an example to explain use of dcterms:audience.

 - symbolicLabelsRange-3

Requires redrafting of the section [http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-swbp-skos-core-guide-20050510/#secdocumentation] to mention the proposed super-property.

 - seeAlsoTranslations-4

Requires generation of alternative language versions of the SKOS Core Spec, and addition of links to these versions in the introduction to the SKOS Core Guide.

Cheers,

Al.
