<< The Draft License says in part:
"(e) "Product Identity" means [ list of things it could mean deleted ]
clearly identified as Product Identity by the owner of the Product
Identity;"
So if you define something as Open, and you don't exclude it specifically by
saying that some subset of that Open material is instead Product Identity,
then the whole section is Open. >>
I think this intention is a very good thing. But I find that, on reading the
sections referenced, it is not clear to my admittedly non-lawyer mind. 1.(e)
describes as "product Identity" the whole laundry list PLUS "any other
trademark or registered trademark clearly identified as Product Identity by
the owner of the Product Identity". It reads as if the "clearly identified"
clause applies to the "any other" part, not to the laundry list. If somehow
your clarification were incorporated into the wording (and it's WAY too
early for my addled brain to suggest a wording), I think there would be less
confusion.
