Dan,

thanks for the review. See replies below

For smil+xml, see Murata's recount of history. I added a paragraph
explaining why we chose not to use the postfix for this one.

As for the sections quoted by repeating the text: The sections were 
included by reference in earlier versions of the draft. I seem to
remember
that I decided to repeat the text either because somebody explicitly 
suggested doing this, or because somebody got it wrong when implementing
from an earlier draft. In any case, the intention is to make sure that
people actually follow these rather involved rules when implementing
application/smil.

If this doesn't convince you, I can consider taking them out again.
Before doing so, however, I would need to do some research on whether 
this wasn't something that was explicitly requested by somebody else.
