Re: Scalability - All or sample pages

Hi Richard,

I personally find the word "scalable" a little jargony. Especially 
"scaling down" is probably not a common use or perception. Happy to hear 
what others in the group think of this term.

As to adding "if appropriate" to the bit about sampling, I will consider 
that when I work through the document to suggest these refinements as 
per my action item from today [1].

Thanks,
