Agreed. I opened an issue for this
https://github.com/svgeesus/ietf-justfont/issues/13

Your pull request neatly solves this, so i merged it and closed the 
issue again.

This is a very good point. I have opened an issue
https://github.com/svgeesus/ietf-justfont/issues/14

This requires discussion, as there are several options and it is not 
immediately clear which is best.

Noted. I added an editorial issue
https://github.com/svgeesus/ietf-justfont/issues/15
and will review such wording.

Suggestions for better wording 9or simply to cut particular parts of the 
text) very welcome.

Yes. I added another editorial issue
https://github.com/svgeesus/ietf-justfont/issues/16
