Since I am not a native English speaker, I have really no opinion here.

Dennis is correct here. However, I don't feel comfortable with the 
amount of text that is removed here. I would feel more comfortable if we
just remove the reference(s).

Actually the section references CSS3 two times. In the previous errata 
we said "Delete normative reference to working draft of CSS3." Which of 
the two is the normative reference? The 2nd one? If so, wouldn't it be 
sufficient to just remove the second reference, that is, the "See §9.2 
of [CSS3Text] for details.".

Page 667 seems to be correct.

I did not check the line number, but I just noticed (indeed very late) 
that the resolution seems not to be correct. Actually 15.28.4 should in 
fact have been a new section on the 2nd level with 15.28.5 and 15.28.6 
as subsection. But renumbering 15.28.4 to 15.29 changes the numbering of 
subsequent sections, too. I therefore suggest we replace "this section" 
with "15.28.5 and 15.28.6".

15.31.3 seems to be correct.

"Schema" in fact must read "scheme". That may be grammatically wrong, 
but it is the terminology used in the RFC.

Yes, this seems to be missing now.
