Patrick Wallace writes:

* 2, after expression (2): I can't parse the sentence "The zero
transverse velocity case is shown..." Is there a way of making it
clearer?

* I saw both "Angstrom" and "\AAngstrom" in the text (i.e. not in
quoted strings). I suspect omitting the ring when spelling out
the full name is better, unless you're prepared to go the whole
hog and write \AAngstr\"om.

* 3.4.1, final paragraph: in the sentence "That is not to say...in
practice" change the comma and semicolon into --- ---.

* 3.4.4, first paragraph: in the sentence "These are fundamental...
purpose", add a comma after "Paper~1".

* Bottom of that page: change the comma in "algorithm codes," to a
semicolon.

* 5.1, final paragraph: in "refraction effects which are naturally" I
suspect that "that" is more correct than "which".


* 7, in "...are the sidereal time and the observatory location", get a
cheap post-IAU-2000 veneer by adding "(or Earth rotation angle)" after
"sidereal time".

* 10.2, in "rotation of the earth", capitalize "Earth" (matching "Sun"
later in the same sentence).

* Reference to IERS TN 32: missing umlauts. The reference should read
"Verlag des Bundesamts f\"ur Kartographie und Geod\"asie, Frankfurt am
Main".

I have made these corrections and have also added the DATE-AVG
keyword. As Stve points out the table form that one would usually
adopt id DATAna which is a bit unfortunate. Does it actually conflict
with anything however? The new papers are found from my main page

with links part of the way done below the license plate pix. The
actual documents are
