I've finally had a chance to review my writing and I have the 
following modifications.

(1) A typographical error, and the resulting change of text in 
"5.1.  Using XPath to specify document context" now reads:

===8<---
An example of a relative XPath location that matches all country 
sub-entity coded values in elements in the entire instance of any UBL 
document model is as follows, as the information item does not 
include any ancestral distinction to the left:

cbc:CountrySubentityCode
===8<---

(2) An addition is being made to "9.  Future work", which will 
probably just be folded in to the next version of the specification 
in order to improve how robust value checking can be:

===8<---
String comparisons can be improved and optimized when it is known if 
values do not contain spaces (i.e. are tokens) or if values do 
contain spaces (i.e. strings). A new attribute added to <Context> 
will by its absence indicate the value is a token, or by its presence 
indicate the value is either a token, a normalized string or an 
unprocessed string.
===8<---

If I find any more I will post another message.

Thanks!
