[LHS] It seems to me that #4 as stated is orthogonal to publication. Any combination of doing or not doing #1 and #4 would be valid, for example. Perhaps the intent was that #4 gives a precondition to publication. In that case, is the precondition giving instructions to Mike Smith, or does Mike Smith have to be successful in getting John Foliot's not-yet- written text into Ian's draft to satisfy the precondition? It seems like the latter option could lead to indefinite delay in publication. Regards, Maciej
