I have changed all appearances of "Format" to "format", except in the
phrase "CellML Umbrella Format Registry" (which is the correct case, as
per the specification). I will be submitting a revised draft to correct
this shortly.

This was fixed unintentionally in draft-miller-media-type-cellml-04,
which has not yet been processed by the IETF secretariat.

As the CellML Umbrella 1.0 specification is a non-IETF document, I don't
believe shall or SHALL is appropriate in this case. However, the CellML
team has endorsed the document, meaning that any future work will result
in a new document with an increased version number. The phrase is
therefore a statement of fact rather than a command, and so "will" is
more appropriate than "shall".

Best regards,
Andrew Miller
