For this release, I'd prefer not to change anything this close to
completion.
But I do agree with Alex and Frank that we are aiming to provide
understandable overviews of OGC standards. Of note, the OGC overviews
were written by the OGC on our behalf (with some initial review by
myself). A long term goal of OGC/OSGeo is to use these docs for both
organisations.
