Fixed.

Fixed.  (I removed the word "portable" but did not add the word "source".)

> In section 4.5, do we really want to announce Bawden's

> haven't yet discussed those incompatibilities?

Deleted.

> Section 4.7 (Reaffirmations) has two separate bullet items
> saying that () is invalid.  The last bullet item is missing
> a closing parenthesis.

Fixed.

> In section 7.3 (Unicode), the URL should be a hypertext
> link.

Fixed.

Thanks!
