Re: Additional documentation for Issue-233

I believe these may be editorial suggestions. The proporationate typo has been fixed in a previous round of corrections. Editors, do you want to make a determination on whether "minimized" would in fact work in this section in place of "limited"? I suggest we don't need to maintain a separate issue for this question.

I've added this email to the editorial list: http://www.w3.org/wiki/Privacy/TPWG/Editorial_corrections

Thanks,
Nick
