XMI24 — Section1: The intended scope of the standard is unclear

The intended scope of the standard is unclear. The first sentence is unnecessary commentary. The second sentence implies that this standard defines only some of the important aspects of defining objects using XML, but ignores others. The final sentence refers to MOF, but does not relate it in any way to what has gone before. Change the Scope to:
This International Standard supports the Meta Object Facility (MOF) Core defined in ISO/IEC 19508 by defining mechanisms for the use of XML elements and attributes for representation of objects defined using the MOF.
It defines mechanisms that may be used to link objects within the same file of in different files; supports references between objects in terms of Ids and UUIDS; and supports validation of XMI documents using XML schemas.

Replace clause 1, which current reads:
XMI is a widely used interchange format for sharing models using XML. XMI defines
many of the important aspects involved in describing objects in XML:
• The representation of objects in terms of XML elements and attributes is the
foundation.
• Since objects are typically interconnected, XMI includes standard
mechanisms to link objects within the same file or across files.
• Object identity allows objects to be referenced from other objects in terms of
IDs and UUIDs.
• Validation of XMI documents using XML Schemas.
XMI describes solutions to the above issues by specifying EBNF production rules to
create XML documents and Schemas that share objects consistently.
MOF is the foundation technology for describing metamodels, which cover the wide
range of domains: this in turn is based on (a constrained subset) of UML.
