[Cfp-interest] Comments on Introductory parts of Part 1 (and others?)

[Willem Wakker]

Some quick comments:
- in part 1 (and also in the other parts) the C standard is
sometimes referred to as 'IEC 9899:2011'; this should be
'ISO/IEC 9899:2011'.

- the notion 'Suggested changes to C11' when used in running
text sometime make the running text look strange or difficult
to parse.
Suggested change: in clause 2
    a) It meets the requirements for a conforming implementation
       of C11 with all the 'Suggested changes to C11', as
       specified in Part 1 of this Technical Specification; and

- there is some confusion in the Conformance section: it now
contains a suggested change to C11; that should not be there.
I suggest the following changes:
a- make a new clause 5 header with title 'Changes to main body
    of C11';

b- make a new clause 5.1 header with title 'Conformance' and
    move the current 'Suggested change to C11' from clause 2 to
    this new clause

c- rename the current clause 5 to clause 5.2 Predefined macros

- I do not like the use of the notion 'Part 1 of this Technical
Specification'. I am more inclined to use 'This part of Technical
Specification 0000:20xx'. Reason: 'this part' is the thing you
have in your hand, 'this TS' is a wider thing that you do not
have in your hand.

Probably similar changes need to be made to the other parts as well.
