The "The schema retains" sentence actually has been taken from our charter. Its purpose, in the spec as well as in the charter, is to clarify what the difference between our schema and for instance XSL-FO is. The later one could be used to save at least very simple office documents, but these documents cannot be edited with office applications again. For this reason, I think if we change the sentence so that it sounds better, we should keep the content (not the words) of the original sentence in a sub sentence or as a separate sentence. Do you have a suggestion for this? Thanks Michael
