The title of the document is "East Asian Spacing", not "East Asian Spacing Property", which is fitting because the document includes 
definition of that property as well as of an algorithm that uses it.

However, the text in certain parts of the document is worded in a way that seems to assume the one property is the only thing the 
entire document describes. For example, section 2, Conformance, begins,

"The property defined in this report is informative." It doesn't explicitly mention the algorithm.

Also, section 4, Data File, begins,

"This property..."

Again, that seems to imply that the entire document is about a single property. Potentially, in the future, the document could be 
extended such that more than one property is defined.

The wording "this property" occurs in three places in the document: 

- In section 3, in a review note: that doesn't need to be changed.

- In section 3.3, paragraph 2: "This property doesn't define the exact amount". That should probably say, "This algorithm..."

- In section 4, first paragraph: I'd change "This property" to "The East_Asian_Spacing property".

There's at least one use of "the property" that should probably change: I think the section heading "Scope of the Property" should be 
"Scope of the Algorithm".

A couple of other organizational changes I'd suggest for the doc:

- The algorithm is defined in section 3.3, which is a subsection of 3 The East_Asian_Spacing Property. I'd move discussion of the 
algorithm in 3.3 and 3.4 into a separate level 1 section.

- Section 4, Data File, contains a description of how property values are derived. That should be moved into section 3, the description of 
the East_Asian_Spacing property. Section 4 should be limited to describing the file---the name of the file, location, format ... See the 
Data File(s) section in several other UTSes/UAXes for comparison.
