In fact, I had to diff the two to find out what you had edited. I suggest the best approach is for you to apply my original patch unedited, then submit to this list a new patch with your suggested edits. Then it will be easier for us to discuss which edits I didn't believe were correct or necessary, and others would also have transparency and be able to comment if they wished too. Could you do that?

It looks like they mostly revert my additions of commas and formatting consistency with other pages. Why?
