and Wiliam, I am not
sure how many more
revisions there will be
for this publication. I
did not add several
important references of
my own in this revision.
Frankly I wanted to keep
reference changes to a
minimum and kept it
as close as possible to
the origin . However, we
are transferring the
paper to the publisher
under CC license, so it
will not be hard to
create another derived
version with all sorts
of additions and
modifications in the
future where people can
edit it as they see fit
and add whatever
references they want -
so after it gets
published you can
continue working on
other versions as you
see fit. For now I ask
we focus on publishing
this version alone and I
really hope the editors
will not put us through
another revision round
since it makes no sense
at this point - any
change is
not substantial compared
to what we have already
and any delay is more
damaging than
productive.</span></p>
