Doron,

Although I have very little expertise in this
area, I read the proposal carefully to learn more
about what you're doing, and noticed a few minor
errors - I don't claim this list is complete, but 
I hope it's helpful even though most of the points
are trivial:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Objectives" commentary, 2nd paragraph:
"followed_by" is mis-spelt "fillowed_by"

2nd paragraph on 2nd page:
"even innocently looking assertions" should be
"even innocent-looking assertions"

various places: tables split across page breaks
(editor needs to be aware that it's all one table)

table at head of page 7: 
"Implies" is wrongly capitalized

16.12.1, penultimate text paragraph:
"The not operator switch the strength..." should be
"The not operator switches the strength..."

new text for 16.12.9:
"...is required to proceed a match of..." perhaps
should be "...is required to proceed after _any_
match of..." ?

text just below syntax box 16-15:
"This clause is used to precondition monitoring..." 
should be something like "This operator is used to 
impose a precondition on monitoring..." (precondition
is confusing when used as a verb).  Also, the third
and fourth bullet points (with long dashes) in this 
paragraph seem to me to say the same thing in different
ways; but I could easily be wrong about that.

First sentence of page 11:
spurious "." at start of sentence

16.12.10: 
just before the examples at foot of page 11, the word
"s_next" is only partially bold; and in property examples
p4, p6 and p8, it's not bold at all.

16.12.11:
"There is also the implicit always that is associated
with the verification statements..."  might be better
written as "There is an implicit always associated with
verification statements , as described in 16.13.4"

16.12.13, first sentence: 
spurious extra word "form"

16.12.13, final text paragraph on page 14:
"s_eventuality" incorrectly spelt and only partly bold

page 15: 
several examples have non-bold keywords

16.12.15:
first paragraph: "that the property clock tick
enough time" - should be "enough times"
final sentence of same paragraph: comma should be
a colon or even a full-stop:
"... and weak sequence are weak: they don't impose..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please forgive me for devaluing your excellent work
with these trivial corrections!

thanks
