I would have worded that differently. I would have said something like
this:

  Right now, the descriptions of the XProc-specific XPath functions in
  section 2.7 are a clumsily formatted, hard to read mess. They don't
  stand out from the prose, they aren't consistently formatted, and
  they use an odd mixture of type names. Hey, editor, get a freaking
  clue, why don't you!?

But Vojtech is much too polite to say that :-)

That is, however, what I've felt everytime I've let my eyes pass over
that section. So today, I fixed it. They are now formatted in a manner
consistent with the XPath F&O document.

I think there are probably a few more minor edits to be done, but
surely that's an improvement!

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
