I don't mind putting them in an itemized list, but I was afraid that
this might give the impression that the list is exhaustive. I just
wanted to give a feel of what the improvements were without going
into much detail.
I will attach two versions. One that just fixes the capitalization,
and one that uses the itemized list. Let me know which one you think
is best.
I tend to actually like the itemized version a little better, because
it's dissociates each element of the list from the other, but that's
only a slight preference.
Thanks,
