Thanks. Looks like these are the only outstanding issues. Thanks for
having a careful look Dirk.

Once you submit the new version I'll allow a couple of days for myself
and others to review changes. If they look good I'll request publishing.

If others have any issues, please let us know, even if passed the WGLC
deadline.
