Dear Ian,

be considered as if you had accepted the comment.

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.”
