The intention here is presumably to allow yourself to do what you want
to do, namely to paraphrase the tds document in the web2c
documentation. Unfortunately this would allow people to distribute
documents that propose different structures rather than just modified
descriptions of the same structure.

While we can not of course prevent people from proposing alternative
structures, I dont think we should be seen to be encouraging
it. (Multiple standards is worse than no standard at all:-)

Why not just leave the default conditions as they are but (as tds
author) give yourself permission (as web2c author) to use the document
as you see fit, irrespective of the general distribution conditions.
