I'm happy with this comment.  But what is the larger plan?

1) The rest of the Corrigendum is OK and your vote changes to YES if the 
F08/0086 edits are removed and we move forward with what remains, or

2) Fixing the problem raised by F08/0086 is sufficiently important to 
put the Corrigendum on hold until it is repaired and put up for another 
vote, considering that this is the final Corrigendum for F2008.

Cheers,
Bill
