JT: I'll leave this one for Tom, as he has the pen again right now.

JT: Here's my update, in line (I think!) with Hiro's suggestion:

* Service Description documents, which are written and maintained by the
appropriate domain-expert working groups, describe the services in the
area in natural language, listing the interfaces and operations defined
by each service.

* Scenario documents, also written by domain-expert working groups,
demonstrate how these services can implement the use cases, using a
combination of natural language and UML.

JT: I inserted this text at what is now line 199, *before* the para
beginning "Members of the OGSA-WG": 

OGSA Recommended and Informational Profiles may be developed either by
the OGSA-WG or by domain-expert working groups, but it is important to
note that they must adhere to GGF's forthcoming OGSA branding
guidelines, which are discussed in section 2.3.

Let me know if you see any issues with this, as I'll be posting this for
final call very soon.

Thanks!
