Jon, are all these changes correct? I want to make sure that terms such as
southwesterly or northeastwards also need unhyphenating before adding these
entries to the Errata lists. TIA.

Looks good. Did you find any of the pattern "north-northeast", "south-southwest", and so on? Those _should_ be hyphenated, but there's no point in adding an unused rule.
