RE: guidelines 4.6.2/4.6.3 (persistence of values of read-write objects)

Thanks for your good work in evaluating all the
consequences of my request. I should have spend some
more time before quickly formulating my concern
in the form of a solution.

So your proposed text:

Seems acceptable to me.
But yes... some reactions from others would also be welcome.
