No rewrite of sections, only the language was corrected. Only very
little rewriting, although some sections might be rewritten and improved

can follow. Both are corrected. To be consistent, I changed all to be the same,
i.e., lower case.
this is the entry point into the section holding the various
design documents -- we try to separatte conceptual/design
from the actual technical documentation
