:sighs: as well, with co-author hat on.

I really think we are polishing far to much at this point. The document is long and involved, and we can certainly find lots of instances where wording could be improved; and could probably keep doing so for months and months on end.

What we should focus on now are just cases where the wording is sufficiently bad as to cause a real problem.

It is useful to look at Section 2.2 when deciding what to do here. Please note that the comment is really about the run-on construction of the sentence, not the inclusion or omission of the title. I agree that we should fix the sentence's construction.

In proposing replacement text, I put on my editor hat and observed that each of the other subtag sections uses a similar formulation for the text. I say "similar" because actually the format varies somewhat. However, in all cases, the title is given for the ISO standard. Thus my proposal includes one, as it would be surprising to omit just the one title.
