Would this read better as "The XML output method serializes the normalized sequence as an XML entity that MUST satisfy the rules for either a well-formed XML document entity, a well-formed XML external general parsed entity, or both" Further down, since the bullet points are sentences, should the preceding colon be a full stop? "The result of serialization MUST be such that the reconstructed tree is the same as the result tree except for the following permitted differences:" 127789 1 andrew_coleman 2016-10-14 13:27:24 +0000 I fixed the first part, but I'm not so sure about the colon/full stop.

Perhaps it's worth asking what other editors are doing in similar situations and aiming for consistency between the XQuery specs.
