Uh ... yes, that is true. Of course, it would be better to fix the
stylesheet IMHO.

Ah! Thank you. Fixed.

I'm not sure if you're suggesting this should replace the last
sentence and action item or augment them.

Check, added.

Right. JW is supposedly writing up this portion of the minutes.

Check, noted.

Check, noted.

Check, thanks. Noted.

Standing by ...

There is nothing in ticket #89.

I don't remember that being said, but I agree wholeheartedly!

I remember it as being very clear-cut, primarily because I didn't
understand it. Seemed to me you'd want to know how to encode a normal
book before trying to work on an aparatus, but I was told there are a
lot of references from PH to TC.

Any one else have recollections of this? Opinions?

Check, so noted.

Check, which is why the action item says "done" for the date.

Check, thanks; so noted.

Check. So noted.

Thanks for all these, and sorry I didn't get to them earlier today,
but I had a bunch of meetings, too.
