Original Comment

I'm having a hard time determining whether the document is meant to be descriptive or prescriptive - is it describing what eval tools are, as a background to another resource, or is it suggesting what eval tool developers should consider as they work on their tool? I think the doc has more value if it's prescriptive, so some things in it should be strengthened.

Resolution

No change - As a Working Group Note, this document is designed to be a descriptive document. The working group is not in the position to prescribe particular features or implementations. We will consider making this more clear, in particular in the earlier parts of the document.
