I guess you mean this comment: "But I have to say that for me as a reader the use of quotes as you suggest does not aid clarity." Dhruv's comment was about using normative language in the appendix: > > (1) Is it wise to use normative keywords MUST and SHOULD in the appendix? > > The text is from section 3.1 but can it be reworded in the appendix? He is absolutely correct in suggesting that the appendix could use different words. As I mentioned before, the appendix is just an informative section, a good/nice-to-have explanation for the reader. That means that it doesn't have to be an exact transcription of the text (which you didn't have to start with), and it can simply be an explanation. The way I see it, using normative language in an informational appendix is what makes the text lack clarity -- the quotes were meant to help a little without asking you to make too many changes. That way it would at least be clear that the specification is made elsewhere. I know we may never agree on which direction to look at clarity. We have already spent too much time on this.
