Subject: Re: [oaxal-comment] Misleading section titles


Hi Rodolfo,

Thank you again for your comments. They are much appreciated. I replied 
where appropriate below. We will discuss these in committee and change 
the document where required:

Thank you for pointing this out.

Thank you for pointing this out.
