RE: [EMOXG] Writing the final report, and last phone meetings

Dear Marc and All,

You have done a very good editing work with the report. It is actually more than a skeleton! 
Regarding the content, I can write the Modality section (2.3.2) as you suggest. In case I can help adding some info regarding the use of Qnames as an alternative to "sets".
I expexct to attend both phone meetings.

Best,
Enrico
