minor typos in CR-xmlschema-2-20001024

These are just minor suggestions for your XML Schema Datatypes [1]
Candidate Recommendation, to use as you see fit. (It may be premature
to point out typos.)

Each table could have cellpadding="5". (Most already do.)

In my browsers, anchors in the XML representation summary
tables are sans-serif, rather than monospace like surrounding
words. Adding this rule to your style sheet might help:

     p.element-syntax a { font-family: monospace }

Also, the W3C style sheet musn't be overridden. Yours must
cascade first. The pre rule could be !important.

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

     The time datatype uses a truncated format for

     represent an instant of time that recurs every day.
[Apparently first person pronouns can be hard to translate (see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/2000AprJun/0058.html).
Maybe this could read:]
