Am I mis-remembering, or wasn't one of the major requests of Council
to re-divide this chapter up by conformance level?

Can you explain what it was better for? As the Pinsky quote does not
demonstrate <l> / <said> overlap (which is a great starting point),
I'm not too fond of it.

I think that's excellent! It could have been demonstrated with just
   fast (trains and planes)    vs    (fast trains) and planes
but the diagram is better. However, if you have the chance to shore
up the vertical spacing, readers will appreciate it. (The tree is
just too tall. :-)

I don't see what was "dodgy", but yes, it caused validation problems,
as I pointed out last month. I think most people would say the schema
needs to be fixed, but we obviously can't do that now!
