I've committed an update, albeit it it doesn't take the above verbatim 
because it would've ended up -mostly- repeating the text that was 
already there and in the title.

The abstract now reads:

I also took the opportunity to incorporate a trivial editorial nit 
spotted by Tony Finch that was reported to us over the weekend.
