The current XML reads:

   <t>The Author/Change Controller (<xref section="4.5" sectionFormat="of"
   target="RFC3864"/>) for this entry is the IETF.</t>

I think this is acceptable.

As mentioned earlier today, i prefer to simply drop the index entirely.

I'm fine with either proposed resolution.  If i have to choose one, i'd
choose the "as well as" variant.

I'm fine with this change.

In nit-picky editor mode, i'd typically convert as much as possible from
the singular to the plural, which would make this:

  Although the PEF-2 scheme is only meant to be used between MUAs
  compatible with PEF-2, a PEF-2 message may end up at an MUA unaware of
  PEF-2 (in which case, it typically renders badly).

I'm OK with either way, with a slight preference for the singular form.

I'll review Bernie's e-mails shortly and send a followup message about
each place that he explicitly asked for feedback.
