I've changed that for the next draft,

The "The schema retains" sentence actually has been taken from our 
charter. Its purpose, in the spec as well as in the charter, is to 
clarify what the difference between our schema and for instance XSL-FO 
is. The later one could be used to save at least very simple office 
documents, but these documents cannot be edited with office applications 
again.

For this reason, I think if we change the sentence so that it sounds 
better, we should keep the content (not the words) of the original 
sentence in a sub sentence or as a separate sentence.

Do you have a suggestion for this?

Thanks

Michael
