untouched.  The list of changes was manually re-checked for false
positives.

This is in no way automated, it's merely a check on whether this makes
sense.  Also I left out three words and two files which I thought
might not be what we want.

Quite the list!  As a native speaker...

Hmm - we aren't really bumping the version when we change the .rng; is
that a bug in our process, or a stale comment worth deleting instead of
spell-checking?  But doesn't stop us from taking this hunk now.


Well, this has something to do with netcf, I guess.  Probably Laine
(Cc'd) would be the one to answer that.

This one is ambiguous (I've seen both spellings; zeros/zeroes is another
such word), but Thunderbird's US spell-check dictionary prefers
embargoes, so go for it.


My en_GB.utf8 ispell only allows "embargoes".  What is your opinion on
"dependant" and similar words I've left out?

ACK to all these changes (modulo the alignment fix).


I pushed the patch with the alignment fixed and "publicly" kept,
thanks for the reviews.
