There is still this, which I either commented on at one point or meant
to: that the introduction states a few things that Sieve is not.  While
it might be fine to recap some of the attributes of Sieve in an
introduction, listing some of the things that are not present in Sieve
potentially sets the document up to contradict other Sieve documents
should those things eventually appear.  E.g., the phrase "it has no
variables" will (hopefully) be false at some point, and there has been
talk of loops as well.  I still think it's best to leave those sorts of
things unsaid here.
