I would like to see an option first element
  <title>
and preferably
   <p>
   <emph>
   <span>
as in Schematron, to allow documentation. Consequently, we need a top
level element, such as <schema>.

I would like to see the ability to declare a unicode normalization type.
Internationalisation libraries offer these, so it should not increase the
difficulty of implementation. The normalization is done by notionally
transcoding the input document to Unicode using a particular normalization
form. If no normalization is specified, then the implementation should use
no normalixation (if the platform provides it) or the default
normalization otherwise.

In section 10, Conformance, the last paragraph is not appropriate, I think.

The last sentence amused me a little: imagine using MUST and MAY for this:
"Users MAY argue that CDRL makes implementions unnecessarily difficult".

For the example A3 & A4, Japanese Kanji, I think

  1) there should be a more exact romaji (and why not Japanese?) reference
preferably with year
  2) why not put in the complete lists? Two items per line to save paper.
The reason to do it is just for completeness and to add value to the
Japanese translation. I think this should entirely be a decision for the
Japanese delegates based on their convenience.
  3) of course, if Korea has similar lists, that too could be added

Cheers
Rick
