Thanks Josef.  Your summary is very helpful.  Just made some 
revisions.

>From experience, more changes are likely.

Most of the work was by senior students, graduate students, Ph.D. 
associates and faculty. Many (most?) novices will be baffled by 
original writing. In fact most of the population in the world has no 
access an academic library where original literature predating 2000 
resides.  But mobile phones and tablets are everywhere.  Where 
possible I've favoured electronic documents ahead of hardcopy.  I 
don't want to avoid attribution to authorities and experts.  Just make 
knowledge more accessible.
