I think we will continue to find errors because of how the LRM was put
together. The intent was to make minimal changes to the original Gateway
documentation. Consequently, there are many redundancies and
inconsistencies, and many of the definitions little more than end-user
examples. As with software, sometimes the best way to fix a piece of
documentation is to rewrite it from scratch. This would have resulted in a
very different, unfamiliar looking LRM, but probably one with fewer errors.
