Description Henry S. Thompson 2009-11-26 10:05:09 UTC 
The single most commonly spotted mistake in the Primer, namely

  <comment>Hurry, my lawn is going wild<!/comment>

[in 2 versions, both repeated, for a total of 4 occurrences]

was fixed in CVS early on, but for reasons I cannot now imagine/reconstruct that change was lost at publication.  To see this, do the following [modified appropriately for your directory structure]:

> cd .../XML/Group/xse/primer
> cvs update -p -r1.11 primer.xml | diff -bw .../WWW/TR/2004/REC-xmlschema-0-20041028/primer.xml

As you can see from the CVS Id lines near the top, 1.11 _is_ the version that was pushed out for publication, but somehow the !comment line fixes were reverted in the process.

Anyone think we can get away with fixing this in place?
