(er) 86: acts of Evil -> acts of evil
I feel like we should standardize for this issue, but can't think of a
IMHO: When applied as a title (e.g. Master of all Evil) or when used as some
kind of ultimate expression (e.g. done in the cause of Evil) I think it
should be capitalised. In instances like this, we're talking about something
more abstract: acts of evil (or, "evil acts") and so capitalisation is
unnecessary. Unresolved.

I'll buy that, for now. :) I'm not completely convinced, so let's see
how this rule plays out on a case-by-case basis. Based on this rule, I
agree with the three remaining errata on the list. I also agree with
the footnote and its wording for section 90 (in case that wasn't
clear).

Well, I've fixed 'em for now, then! Right--Book 20 is currently at 0 outstanding issues. I've updated the xml and re-output and re-uploaded the latest version to the /test/ area.

I also footnoted Section 182 in Wolf's Bane (about the Graveyard of the Ancients/Crypt Spawn discontinuity) because it was bugging me. Nothing fancy or controversial: "It is possible for Lone Wolf to have visited the Graveyard of the Ancients without encountering any Crypt Spawn." That has also been committed and a new version uploaded to the /test/ area. Currently, Books 1-8, 19, and 20 are 100% up-to-date with no reported outstanding issues.

Should I take the agreement with the (ft) in Section 90 as implicit of footnoting 16tlov 60 and 17tdoi 303 with the same footnote? *grin*

I'll be doing my play-through next.

Hopefully we've found most of the contentious stuff already. Hopefully.

By my calculation, as long as we can get The Curse of Naar published
by 13 March, we'll still be on track for publishing the New Order
Series by the end of 2009.

The later books in the series (25+) are shorter. Book 20 had (AFAICT) the longest errata list of any of the remaining books, so each individual book should be a little easier from now on. Don't forget that we've already resolved a lot of issues relating to Books 21+ (e.g. the North Gate/north gate stuff) so much of the remaining work should hopefully be quite straightforward. Unfortunately, the most time-consuming work will be the illustration transcription. :-\
