Thank you for your comment, which the QA Working Group has accepted.  We
have reworded the affected section as you recommended and it now reads [2]

 

Requirement 02: Define Scope, Why Care.

"This is one of the first sections a reader reads, so it is important to
capture their attention and make sure they understand what the specification
is about. It helps to keep the specification content focused. It helps
reviewers determine when the specification is over-stepping its mandate and
then gives the possibility to revise the specification in development. It
also helps readers know the limits or boundaries of the specification and
whether it is of interest to them."
