<< Editorial comments >>

1. Clause 4.2.1 Topic Map Schema item

   The title "Topic Map Schema" has space between words, but in 
   the caption and sentence, "TopicMapSchema" is used. There is 
   no space between words. Is there any intention?

   The other items are the same.

2. Clause 4.3.7.1 - 4.3.7.5

   There are no titles.
   They should be 
   OtherRoleCardMinConstraint,
   OtherRoleCardMaxConstraint,
   OtherRoleAllPlayersFromConstraint,
   OtherRoleOneOfConstraint and
   OtherRoleIsUniqueConstraint.

3. Clause 4.3.8.3 RoleAllPlayersFromConstraint, 

   In the expression of the "RoleAllPlayersFromConstraint interpretaion",
   some lines would be missing after "every" line.

4. Clause 4.3.8.4 RoleOneOfConstraint,

   In the expression of the "RoleOneOfConstraint interpretaion",
   some lines would be missing after "every" line.

5. Clause 4.5.1 ConflictItem

   In the list of ConflictItem, there is "RoleIsUniqueConflictItem" 
   (last line),   but there is no corresponding Constraint in the 
   contents and clause 4.3.8.
   They should be match.
