CONFORM

I have added the following text:

  UAs must allow users to specify a file that contains the user style
  sheet. UAs that run on devices without any means of writing or
  specifying files are excempted from this requirement. Additionaly, UAs
  may offer other means to specify user preferences, for example through
  a GUI.

TABLES

I have removed the 'left' and 'right' values on 'caption-side'.

GENERATE

All remnants of automatic numbering have been removed. Otherwise just
editorial changes.


MEDIA

I have added text to clarify that media types are mutually exclusive.


INTRO

Minor editorial changes.


VISUREN

In section 9.10, the text that says non-bidi UAs may ignore this
section has been moved forward to give it more attention.
