Re: minor comments for CR-MathML2-20001113

This is the status of fixes to chapter 4.

Only the rewording/formatting of the large paragraph,  and the 
extra Example heading remain to be fixed.   

For the large run-on paragraph, David, If you like, I can look at 
the wording.. (There is paragraph markup
in the source but it is not obvious in the html. )

The extra "Example" heading  did not appear obvious in the source
so I will let David track that one down.

I will also do Appendix C.
