Thank you, Ilari!

The changes look good and thanks for getting them posted.

Ilari,

Thanks for your response.  Could you propose text to address the last 
question?

Thanks,

Thanks for your review, Roni!

Authors, did you observe the editorial suggestions?

Did the changes to Editor's Copy.

The comment about corner-cases I just deleted[1].


I'm not quite sure what question you mean. The changes due to editorial
suggestions?
