This understanding doc is very helpful for those who don't speak
English to understand the intent of the SC. It includes some graphic
examples. I'd like to see more graphics of both good and bad examples
so that many more people could understand the SC. This SC is one of
the SCs which is difficult to understand without visual examples.

It is also great for us to have any explanations in plain language. It
allows us to translate the doc into our language more easily and
precisely.
