|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 14 | I think we can afford to spell out the word "number" in "# of values" (applies to all of eduPerson, actually) | ||
| 2 | 20, 36 | Please clarify the example ‘She/ella* O $ او, 她/她, היא’ – what are "O $" meant to signify here? (Not that I understand the rest of the string to the right of these characters but with both "O" and "$" coming from ASCII I feel I should be able to understand those.) | ||
| 3 | 30 | There's only one 'Example', maybe drop the plural. | ||
