"The XML Binding Language (XBL) describes the ability to associate

as the bound elements.
True, but that's not really important. The important case is the external
document case, which is what the abstract highlights.
Sure. But I thought it was important that readers get an understanding
of the scope of the technology, and not be bogged down in seeming
contradictions.
Besides your version sounding much more marketting-y and longer, I don't
see that it's especially better.
Naturally, you already understand what XBL is for, but you aren't your
audience.
I don't care about the length or the actual wording. I just want the
abstract to be accurate and reasonably comprehensive. I don't think
that the current version is. Maybe others do.
But in the end, I think there will be enough supporting documentation
that as long as the technology itself is well-defined, the quality of
the prose is of lesser importance.
