My linear review of the IBIS 7.0 draft is finally completed. The three commented documents are:

https://ibis.org/editorial_wip/ver7_0_181107_mlabonte_review.docx (146 comments, up to page 109)

https://ibis.org/editorial_wip/ver7_0_181109_mlabonte_review.docx (18 comments)

https://ibis.org/editorial_wip/ver7_0_181116_mlabonte_review.docx (148 comments, page 189 on)

The numbers seem large, but other than in the first one, I think most of the comments are straightforward. A few that should be discussed:

1. The issue about List_Tip on page 217, which we could simply record
   as a known issue.
2. Lowercase "reserved parameter" appears 12 times. Should this be
   changed to match the 152 "Reserved Parameter"? I think so.
3. Should the notes under tables each end with a period? Most do not,
   some do. I think they should. They tend to be at least 80% complete
   sentences.

The actual edits should go quickly, writing the comments probably took longer. If necessary, I could delete many of the debatable comments in the first document, leaving only typo/format comments. Or I could do the edits to produce an official draft.
