COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the efforts on this document.

I have following comments, by addressing them I believe will improve the
document quality

- Section 2.1 : Should it not say if the "content-schema" node exists then
one of the methods MUST be used? as I see the specification of content
schema is a SHOULD, hence may not be included for whatever reason.
BALAZS: In accordance with your comment the SHOULD will be changed to MUST.
However, that still allows " External Method: Do not include the
"content-schema" node;"
People stated that when instance files are used repeatedly (a new file
generated every few seconds) in a closed, well defined environment,  the
content-schema may already be known. In this case it is not necessary to
include it in the file.

- Section 4 : it says

    Instance data files may contain sensitive data.

  OK, but what should be taken into consideration when putting the sensitive
  data in the data file. It feels like there should be more information
  provided to the user of the specification for actually materialize the
  statement made here.
BALAZS: Instance data files may be used in many different use-cases. 
Whether the data within is sensitive is completely dependent on the content
schema applicable to the use-case.
The draft contains:
" The security sensitivity of the instance data in the content part is
   completely dependent on the content schema."
Any suggestions about what else we could say?
