With regard to the translation--I agree, it's a vast improvement over the deliberate mis-translation we had for 40-odd years.  Any schoolboy can translate phrases like 'Et cum spiritu tuo', 'credo' and 'mea culpa'--but the ICEL couldn't.  And we in the pews didn't know the deception, because those monthly missalettes never included the Latin.

Don't get me wrong:   I don't like the Novus Ordo at all, for two reasons:  
(1) It's inferior to the Tridentine Mass.  Anyway, if I wanted a Protestant liturgy, I'd go to  Protestant service and get the real thing.
(2) Paul VI had no authority to impose the NO on us.  Ever since Vatican I popes have believed they can do whatever they want.  They can't.  And Vatican II is just Vatican I on steroids.

As for picking hole in AL--the document's just too bloody long.  You can be every bit as ambiguous in a lot fewer words.  It's just bad writing.
