You're correct, Mike. The changes were mostly subtle and hard to spot.
I'd have to go to the github change log to find them all, but they
included things like:
1.) Added a dash in the first sentence of the Abstract for
"trade-offs."
2.) Added a slash in Sec 1.2 where we had "and or" without the
expect "and/or" slash.
3. Added quotes to some of our labels, e.g. "Source" rectangle, etc; in
Sec 1.2 diagram explanations.
4. While doing this I determined a number change in the first sentence
of 1.2; so now "their sources" where it was "its source" previously.
5.) Here's agood one ...
Was: Source Rectangle & Post-Source Clouds: Represent multiple
contributors accessed via URL or URI whose provenance may not be clear
to the user.
Is: The "Source" rectangle and the post-source services--drawn as
cloud-shaped nodes: These represent multiple contributors accessed via
URL or URI whose provenance may not be clear, visible, or even of
interest to
the user.
Not an exhaustive list -- but like the above.
If you don't see a change, that's probably a good thing! We rejected a
few changes that would have altered our rhetorical argument. We weren't
going to do that. Instead, it made us more accurate and precise, imo.
PS: I discussed my Aside coding approach, and especially the need for
aria-labelledby with my APA Co-Chair, Matthew Atkinson, who promissed to
give me a better coding template over the weekend.
So, the dotting of the i and the crossing of the t continue!
Meanwhile, have a great Friday!
Best,
Janina
