Hi, Chris, and thanks for the review.

2 - The last sentence of section 2.1 is:
>
>
>    This mechanism has a clear readability
>    disadvantage, with respect to using a literal text string with a
>    prefix, and new the prefix mechanism is preferred.

>    specification can be much more easily read.

No.  Take the sentence in context.  The context is that it's describing the
was we used to do case-sensitive text, giving each character's numeric
value.  It's *that* mechanism that has the readability disadvantage.

Do you really think that text is unclear, in the context that it's given?
 I suppose we could say "The old mechanism has...", to make it even clearer.
