I should have put a warning in 5.5 -- I started to work on it, then stopped 
to rethink how it should be.  So ... it's incomplete, to say the 
least.  Next draft will be more suitable for commenting.

[This wording is original and I have not yet touched it.]

Agreed.

That's okay with me, I'll implement your suggestion unless someone objects 
and wants to talk about it.

Oops.  Yes, we can probably do without that.  (I was doing some wording 
copy-paste from the SVG 1.1 data types section.)

I'll add such an example, thanks.
