Re: Action-77, Action-80, Action-84 (was RE: agenda for today's policy editors call

Editorial pass means review and correction of wording, grammar, and  
style (e.g. avoid passive voice where possible etc), changing which  
to that, etc. Editorial...

Here is an example of a change I might make without raising an issue,  
and for which I think it is stupid to devote committee time (from  
older draft, I have to review your changes - do you have a red-line,  
or is that the red-line Asir generated?)

Change "WS-Policy Specification defines" to "The WS-Policy  
Specification defines"

Here is another

"domains could exploit and then allow" => "domain assertion authors  
can use and then allow"

I was planning to improve grammar and wording as part of an editorial  
pass, but cannot if I have to raise an issue for each minor wording  
change. I thought it would make the document better.

I will raise an issue for anything that might require committee  
agreement, however, I don't want to waste committee time on purely  
editorial issues, nor mine in raising an issue for every wording change.
