Done. Also filled out some later sections, but I can put in a separate PR if preferred?
This is easier to read

| The simplest solution is to reduce or eliminate the long merge delay. If a log can offer an MMD of a few seconds, a Believer can simply wait for the inclusion proof to be available before acting on the Claim. This shifts the burden from Believers to the log operators, who must maintain highly available and performant infrastructure, but it dramatically simplifies the client-side logic. |

Since we're talking about the Believer fetching the inclusion proof I think it's worth adding a parenthetical about the alternative "claimant can wait for the inclusion proof to be available and make an off-line verifiable bundle which includes the claim available for direct download"). Particularly if we mention the privacy issues with SCTs in the paras above...

Dodged this to avoid a discussion of offline proofs etc here. Changed believer to user. LG?

This tidies up the intro to make it more accessible and set the context of what the CM is designed for. Fixed a number of TODOs and unfinished sections later in the doc.
