Hi, Michael,

This sounds reasonable. I truly think the technical requirements here are valid. It is the texts of use case part needed to be enhanced. We will work on it in next update, making the use cases (maybe reduced to one or two in the main text, as you suggested)  solid and mapping to our technical requirements well.

Cheers,
