Sorry, I am a little slow today. Are you referring to my 3rd point? And
I cannot quite get the connection between the review by i10n-english and
colloquial style.

I would say, if there is an idiot having enough time to correct the
typography, that’s fine. If not, nobody cares anyway.

So maybe in some time you want to process the XML-file with LaTeX to get
a PDF output. The whole world would be amazed seeing such a great
document with correct typography ;)

Also I could imagine that LaTeX can cope with non abbreviations more
easily than with them. But I am no expert.

So anyway you are the bosses. So feel free to close this bug.


Thanks,

Paul
