I generally support this proposal but have comments: Compositor agent I'm not sure about the term coherent layout in the proposed definition. Would a compositor for a layout that is purposely incoherent be excluded? I don't think the definition would suffer if coherent was removed: "An agent who ...

Hi all, I have a suggestion and a question and would appreciate your feedback. Suggestion:The proposed definition of the proposed element uses the term "unit" but I wonder if "subunit" should be incorporated in the definition somehow to make it more consistent with how unit/subunits are used in the ...
