Here are the specifics on my comment on the use of <del> and Lou's
reaction, and a link to the chapter.

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.
