Summary: Almost ready; nits, comments and questions

I have a few minor comments/questions.

1. Section 4.1.3 - There is a problem with the text "Operators and Administrators do not want the users to sometimes not be able to modify or even see" maybe it should say "Operators and Administrators do not want the users to be able to modify or even see".

2. Section 5. - I think it is the Subscriber that SHOULD indicate all of the dataset schemas that is supports by listing all of the MIME types for the supported datasets in the SUBSCRIBE request header: Accept. Not the Notifier is this correct ?

3. Section 5.5.1.  The 'visibility' Attribute. Some SIP UA's especially in the enterprise environment have concepts of users and administrators and separate access controls for data items. For example a SIP UA may have separate web pages for administrators and users. If the visibility attribute is set to "admin" the text states "Display of the property value may be allowed using special administrative interfaces" so I assume it could be displayed on the administration web pages. But the draft says nothing as to whether the property value can be modified using these special administrative interfaces (E.g. Web Pages). However the text in 4.1.3 indicates that the access control relates to modifying the data as well as viewing the data.  There would seem little point in changing the data on the phone locally if the next time a profile is downloaded the old value is used again so is some other mechanism needed to control whether the property value can be modified locally at the UA ?
