Do we need to say "Government entities", why not just "Government". It's awkward to and redundant to have the second occurrence of "entities", I suggest.

They would then have to go by it when creating pages. If no one else sets one, they can't conform without setting one - could they? </blockquote> I agree. If no baseline is set by a government, company or customer, the developer has to define it. He has to turn the baseline implied by his choice of technologies into an explicit statement. I also think that note 4 can drop the word "some" (implied by "include") and the second "may" (following the baseline is not meant to be optional). So it would become: <proposal> Note 4: Examples of entities that may set baselines that an author has to follow include the author, a company, a customer and government entities. </proposal> Regards, Christophe Strobbe -- Christophe Strobbe K.U.Leuven - Departement of Electrical Engineering - Research Group on Document Architectures Kasteelpark Arenberg 10 - 3001 Leuven-Heverlee - BELGIUM tel: +32 16 32 85 51 http://www.docarch.be/ Disclaimer: http://www.kuleuven.be/cwis/email_disclaimer.htm
