I see what you mean.  The challenge is how to communicate what is potentially a
large number of minor edits without expending large amounts of man power.  Thus
I could provide text in the usual form of /old/new/ in which case the
Introduction would be

"Many applications that
/desire to//
use SCTP
/want/have requested/
 the ability to "reset" a stream.  The intention of resetting a stream is to
/set/start/
   the numbering sequence of the stream back
/to/at/
 'zero' with a
   corresponding notification to the upper layer that this
/has/act as/
 been performed.  The applications that
/want/have requested/
 this feature
/want to/normally desire it so that they can/
 "re-use" streams for different
   purposes but still utilize the stream sequence number
/so that the application can/for the application to/
 track the message flows.  Thus, without this feature, a new use
/of/on/
 an old stream would result in message numbers
/greater/larger/
   than expected
/unless there is/without/
 a protocol mechanism to
"/reset/start/
 the streams back
 /to/at/
 zero".  This document
/ also includes/s presents also
a/ method/s//
 for resetting the  transport sequence numbers, adding additional streams and
resetting  all stream sequence numbers.

Would that do the job?
