I find the second part of the following sentence (starting with ": more") in the intro quite unclear: "The reason for abstraction here is, at a fundamental level, that passage to a quotient space is not very well-behaved in topology: more accurately, it is a tribute to the efforts to use category theory to get round the alleged 'brutality' of imposing equivalence relations within geometric categories."--MarSch 09:51, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

I have expanded the introduction, but I suppose you may not like it much better yet. Charles Matthews 10:40, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
