Re: [SMIL30 LC comment] general structure and styling inconsistencies

Hello SMIL working group,

looks like the quotation was a little bit corrupted for this
comment ;o)

However, I appreciate the resolution to improve the structure
and order of chapters very much as well as the approach to
improve, harmonise and explain styling. Thanks for that.

I believe in the working group and assume, this will be done
correct as well as the correction of trivial typos noted in other 
comments, I will not reply on separately. 
The same applies to minor fixes and wording improvements. 

Only in case I think, a specific issue needs further discussion
or enlightenment, I send a separate reply, hoping this
is sufficient.

If it is only noted in some resolutions, that wording 
has been changed or some paragraphs are added, I obviously 
cannot consider, if this resolves the commented problem, 
however, I believe ;o)
