Re: R5RS countdown

I noticed a few typographical errors in the R5RS draft dated
11 February 1998:

Page 1:  "Dedicated the Memory of Robert Hieb" should be
"Dedicated to the Memory of Robert Hieb".

Page 7, Section 3.5, first paragraph of rationale:
"has the same semantics as the continuation to the procedure"
should be
"has the same semantics as the continuation passed to the
procedure".

Page 8, note at end of Section 3.5:  The word "Note:" should
be in italics, and the entire note should be in a slightly
smaller font, as in the notes that appear on page 9 and
elsewhere throughout the R5RS.

Page 8, note at end of Section3.5:  I would suggest putting
a period before the parenthetical explanation, changing

    In the example above, the {\tt let} expression could be
    compiled as a tail call to {\tt h} (the possibility of
    {\tt h} returning an unexpected number of values can be
    ignored, because in that case the effect of the {\tt let}
    is explicitly unspecified and implementation-dependent).

Page 14, first bullet item:  There is an extraneous right
parenthesis at the end of this item, or else a left parenthesis
is missing.

Page 43, Section 7.3, macro definition for case:  The last
two lines, and the 7th line from the bottom of this definition,
are not indented properly.

Page 45, Language Changes, next-to-last bullet item:
"to implemented" should be "to be implemented".

Page 46, reference [9]: a period is missing after the title
of the paper.
