Whilst looking up the text of entity definitions for Lothar's proposed 
changes, I found a 6th bit of text that would need to be changed.

6.  In clause 9.2, the paragraph before the Syntax box reads:
"An entity instance may only be created in EXPRESS by means of an entity 
constructor (see 9.2.6) or a complex entity construction operator (see 
12.10)."

Replace this paragraph with:
"In general, the means by which entity instances are created is outside 
the scope of the EXPRESS language.  An entity instance may, however, be 
created in EXPRESS by means of a constant definition, a derived 
attribute specification, an assignment statement, or a function call 
(see 12.13)."
