Should we add the list of weapons illustration to the Equipment
section under the "Equipment—How to use it... Weapons" section?

Doing some research turns up some inconsistency in how similar
salutations are capitalized in the books (cf. sire versus Sire). On
balance, they favor the uncapitalized version. I don't mind going with
that. Thoughts?

It depends on whether the Journeyman refers to the rank or to the
occupation. Now that I think about it again, I think we can leave this
as-is.

Sounds good to me.

No, though we may want to add a note to his bio: "Though Trevor Newton
illustrated the original printed edition of Voyage on the Moonstone,
Project Aon volunteers have been unable to contact him to request
permission to include his illustrations. His artwork does not appear
in any Project Aon editions."

"Aung San Suu Kyi is a renowned pro-democracy activist, advocate of
non-violence, and prisoner of conscience in Burma."

And I've only made it slower. We're almost at the end of the tunnel, I think.
