Whether the -03 was adequate, or inadequate, I agree that much of
the proposed text in the abstract and introduction is an improvement,
... Thanks a lot for the text!

[ Wish it were XML, and not extracted from "Word" and sent as HTML,
but that's something I managed to get past with help from lynx and
Perl... ]

I'm working on integrating the improved bits, but keeping more of
the original *content* in place (reworked).  In deleting the
"Pattern" section and compressing the "Principles" section, too
much was lost in the proposed revision.  So that's where my efforts
will be spent, recreating that content with more clarity and less
repetition.

Still working on it, ...
