No problem at all, these are mostly minor editorial comments and they will all be addressed in the next publication (which may be an RFC or may be another ID depending on whether deprecating text/xml et. al. has to be revisited).

The "SHOULD be carefully considered in each case" goes beyond editorial, but is good advice none the less so I have no problem adding it.

Many thanks for your thorough review.
