"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 or a well-formed XML external general parsed entity, or both." 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:"
I fixed the first part, but I'm not so sure about the colon/full stop. Take a look at this: http://www.getitwriteonline.com/archive/101406VerticalLists.htm (section D.1)

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