Only commenting on concision: A concise definition would be nice. 
Putting such a concise definition would be best placed as early as 
possible in the text, such as in the document abstract.

However we might belabor the formal definition section such that the 
concise definition is sufficiently built up (eg end, e2e, e2ee) in the 
first section on formal definition.
