Repository access wording

[Paul Hoffman / IMC <phoffman@xxxxxxx>]

These may seem like nits, but I'd like to make the following changes to
section 2.3 in draft-apple-schema-rqmts-list-03. 

>   The following access functions are REQUIRED:
>
>      a) browse and retrieve schema listing content, listing
>         meta data, and a list of available schema listings:
>
>         + via HTTP using an HTTP client such as a web browser

Should be just "via HTTP requests". I think that many automated retrieval
agents will use HTTP without a web browser. 

>         + via FTP using clients such as a GUI- or
>           command-line-based FTP client or a web browser

Should be just "via an FTP client".

>         + via SMTP using an SMTP-to-FTP gateway

Should be just "via requests through an SMTP server". I intend to implement
the SMTP access through a program that parses requests in messages, not
through a gateway.

>      b) search a list of available schema listings:
>
>         + via HTTP using an HTTP client to download a copy of the
>           list and utilizing search capabilities of that client

Should be "via HTTP, retrieving either HTML or text listings that can then
be searched by the requestor"

>         + via HTTP by accessing repository-based searching
>           facilities capable of accepting keywords from
>           the user and returning schema listing summaries
>           containing those keywords

Should be "via HTTP by accessing repository-based searching facilities such
as keyword searching; this can return schema names, schema listings, schema
metadata listings, or other useful information"
