Dear Michael and Chip,

Hopefully we are now converging.

The sentence on ILC is a bit of a mouthful. It mixes three different and 
important points while neglecting to tell the
reader that the machine would collide electrons and positrons.
Suggest splitting it as follows. Not sure this suggestion is necessarily 
the best. I think it should say detectors somewhere
- but that request from me that you incorporated ... has not made the 
current sentence any more digestible.

"A global effort has now completed the technical design of the 
International Linear Collider (ILC) accelerator
  and detectors that will provide these capabilities."
=>
"A global effort has now completed the technical design of the 
International Linear Collider (ILC).
  This accelerator and its detectors will provide these physics 
capabilities with e+e- collisions."
(or perhaps one could use a ; or : and make it one sentence).

I think it is important to make it clear that the basic ILC program is 
e+e-. There is also the possibility of
e-e-, e- gamma, and gamma gamma. Those are not excluded - but e+e- is 
essential and sufficient for the
discussion here.

      regards
            Graham
