Commitment is the first thing established in the guidelines but what 
follows is clarifications and exceptions on how it applies to the entire 
distribution instead of merely relying on abstract definitions of 
freedom. Does FSD apply to GNU FDL including it's invariant sections? If 
you can suggest some precise wording that would improve or clarify the 
guidelines please do.
