Sorry for the delayed review, I have additional comments on wglc-01
for Comment 120.

If that is so, please add an architectural model diagram (similar to
Figure 3, or perhaps convert Figure 3 into) which clearly shows this 
1-to-n association.

This is the only hint in the document (at least that I found) which
suggests the stated possibility.  Figure 3 with 1-to-1 association almost 
seemed like the architectural model, but on careful reading, is only 
an example.
