[Fwd: [xml-model] Minor wording ambiguity]

FYI -- I'm not sure if someone periodically checking xml-editor mailing
list.

I'm not native speaker, but to me this seems as a little bit exaggerated
-- although from grammar point of view Tony is right and there is
ambiguity, I don't think that there is any ambiguity in the
interpretation of the statement. Also I don't think that proposed change
of wording will lead to more digestible text.

In http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/NOTE-xml-model-20100415/ in the text:

   Documents must not use processing instruction information items with the
   [target] property xml-model if they are not xml-model processing
   instructions.

the "they" could refer to either "documents" or "processing instruction
information items".

Up until I read "xml-model processing instructions", I thought "they" were
documents.  I suggest changing this "they" to "the information items" in
any future edition.
