Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. Highly use case specific seems a bit of an
overstatement, I would say it is the most common case. But I get your point.
We've tried to be more specific on end-user vs RO. In your proposal I guess
the user you're referring to is the RO.

I find the suggested definition a bit convoluted, let's think about it a
bit more.

Cheers
Fabien
