Good!, finally I understand (without having to look at the library
itself) what ocaml-text does :-)

That its S/N is 0 :-) I've nothing against marketing, which is
arguably also part of a software description, but it should provide
info. Saying "other projects" is pretty useless to me: either you
mention which projects are compatible with ocaml-text or you explain
what of ocaml-text makes it "easy to interoperate" (or you drop the
sentence :-))

Cheers.
