All such references should refer to the same place and should be in 
approximately the same form;  the one in this chapter seems to have 
escaped. But not for long!

This is a rather strange use of <del> I agree, but not I think 
completely wrong. The problem is that the transcriber (this is a real 
example, by the way, not one I made up!) is interested in the kinds of 
segment primarily, and wants to show that for the purpose of 
segmentation the repeated words should be deleted. In the original 
typescript they do this by transcribing it and then... deleting it (with 
overstriking). So that's what I have encoded. I have tried to reword it 
a bit to explain what's going on.

Indeed it should, and has been.

Well, certainly the chapter is in need of a spring clean, but I can't 
see that happening in the next month, so it's probably not going to get 
done for P5.

I see Conal has just posted a whole mass of things. Hoorah!
