Here's a key to the markup:
	[page-number]: serious technical mistake
	{page-number}: minor technical mistake
	<page-number>: important language/formatting problem
	(page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
	?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification



Confirmed errors:


{27}  1st paragraph;
translate($input,"      
&xd", "")

should be

translate($input,"      
", "")



{207}  last sentence before listing (does not need to be changed for reprint but may be helpful for readers);
There is a work-around that at least eliminates the need of matching the string against a sub-pattern again:

<xsl:analyze-string regex="(regex1)|(regex2)|...|(regexn)">
  <xsl:matching-substring>
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test=". eq regex-group(1)">MATCHED regex1</xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test=". eq regex-group(2)">MATCHED regex2</xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>IMPOSSIBLE</xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
