This is an error in the worksheet. "More considerations for the
public" is the correct language.

Thanks; we'll add these to the worksheet also.

It should be translated; we'll add this also. (It is currently
commented-out in the English because it makes no sense to display it
when there aren't any translations published yet.) Please do fix this
in your final draft, including replacing the obsolete element; we'll
add the corrections to the English also.

Yes, it should be.  (The worksheet is mainly to aid our reviewing, and
since this is just navigational text we're not particular about how
this is translated--but since it is confusing that it is not present,
we will add it.)

Thanks,
Kat
