Thanks Geoff, I'll fix them.

One thing about the aggregation.
I first had the condition "do not include the ATOMIC_AGGREGATE".
Then someone commented on the list that ATOMIC_AGGREGATE was dead.
I reviewed the function of ATOMIC_AGGREGATE and what our code does.
ATOMIC_AGGREGATE means that information was lost by aggregation.
In our code (and other code that I have worked on), when we
aggregate, we always add the ATOMIC_AGGREGATE attribute.
There is no case when we aggregate without adding the ATOMIC_AGGREGATE
attribute. Being of no consequence, I removed that part of the text.
I mean, the text tells you how to aggregate if the ATOMIC_AGGREGATE
is absent, but says nothing about how to aggregate if it's present.

Personally, I'm fine either way. It will not change any code I write.


Jakob.
