Good work on the XML. In the interest of density of communications, I
mostly highlight problems in the following list, but want to send my
compliments on the issues I don't highlight. I'm happy to have another
XML worker on board.

Is this really errata? In the Project Aon jargon, an "erratum" is an
error from the printed editions of the books. An error introduced from
scanning and proofreading is termed "non-erratum". This looks like a
scanning error to me. In light of this, please review all issues
listed to verify that we have are jargon straight (I don't have my
hard copy handy). Anyone care to create a Glossary of Project Aon
Jargon in the Sanctum?

Should this be an erratum since it is a change from the original books?

The "strong" tag should be reserved for cases where an emphasis in the
text is needed. This should be cleared up by using a table. I'm going
to check in a version using a table (along with some other fixes that
I noted). Please update your working copy.

The scanner seemed to have a real problem with 6/9!

We use named character entities. Actually, we should be using the
"ch.deg" element. I don't think we've updated the XSL to handle this
yet, though. Something else for me to do...

Excellent catches.
