Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The proposal is appealing and interesting, and the method deserves some consideration. Moreover, the paper is almost well written and well organized.


- The text, in general, reads well, but a grammatical revision could improve it further.

- The paper adequately puts the progress it reports in the context of previous work, representative referencing and first discussion.
