Sure. I didn't send it on because, as a non-member, my posts automatically

I am wondering if I should replace "shall" by "should".  "Shall" implies

I'm not sure if that's the correct interpretation but English tenses and
modes are difficult in this kind of situation where shall/should/must are
often used interchangeably. Really the constraint <-1 < x < 1 should be
added to the attributes to remove ambiguity, which is the real problem:
what happens for values > 1? "Values outside the bounds for the chosen
layout mode will be considered as…"

But shouldn't the descriptions for wMode and yMode be extended? Ideally

I can give it a go but it really needs someone from MS. Fortunately,
someone using my library already played around with the possibilities. See
the enclosed screenshot. This could probably be used as the basis for an
illustration.
