Thanks for the comments! I'll merge the changes and look through the
comments to see if I (or anyone else) can improve the text.

The previous versions has all the explanatory and background text
(which is is now in the footnotes in v0.14) interspersed throughout the
main text. That was considered confusing, having normative text
and annotated ideas in teh same text flow. So the idea was to put
all the explanations in footnotes, but in a prominent (same sized)
font so that this information and the rationale for the normative
text is preserved.
So the idea now is to keep the footnotes also in the final version,
and add our experience in there.

Agreed to both, and the generic first paragraph can indeed just
be removed.
Will to that in the next version.

	Thanks a lot!
