Re: PROV-ISSUE-501: Data Model Section 2.1.1, example [prov-dm]

Maybe I should include the link to the current diff file in the response.

I think in the email response people will want to see where the
changes were made and not just the diff. But I can just include a link
to the current editor's draft and that will resolve it.

cheers
Paul
