minor typos in CR-xmlschema-1-20001024

Here are a few suggestions for your XML Schema Structures [1]
Candidate Recommendation, to use as you see fit. (It may be premature
to point out typos.)

Either use and give a reference to RFC 2119, or explain why not.
For example, in 4.3.4, last list, "1.1 The corresponding attribute
group definition, if any, must satisfy the conditions set out in
Attribute Group Definition Constraints (§5.4)." can the RFC define
"must" for you?

Each table could have cellpadding="5".

As you may be aware, these Glossary entries have incomplete definitions:
actual type definition
constitute a restriction
context-dependent declarations
emptiable
explicit content
explicit members
fully conforming
namespace URI
overlap
strictly assessed (two entries)
valid
valid extension (two entries)
valid restriction (three entries)

First person pronouns are evidently hard to translate (see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/2000AprJun/0058.html).
Eliminating "we" will cut a few bytes in this example (from 3. par. 5):
     [Definition:]  when we refer to the initial value of some
     attribute information item, we mean by this the value of
     the [normalized value] property of that item. Similarly,
     when we refer to the initial value of an element
     information item, we mean the string composed of, in
     order, the [character code] of each character information
     item in the [children] of that element information item.
becomes:
     [Definition:]  the initial value of some attribute information
     item is the value of the [normalized value] property of that
     item. Similarly, the initial value of an element information
     item is the string composed of, in order, the [character code]
     of each character information item in the [children] of that
     element information item.

I didn't list corrections for editors' notes or Appendix J. From here
on, a section number is followed by a quote and then a suggestion.
