Footnote [2] existed in the first draft, unreferenced. Footnote [3] was added in e06f400 and had its only reference removed in 3ff288b. Footnotes [9] and [10] were added in ac9a270 and had their references removed in 842b40e, when the Ordering ABCs were removed from the PEP. I've retained all four, removing the markup.

Whoa, this link works. Is archive.org special-casing certain books?

I was also amazed that the Amazon.com link works some 16 years on!

So it appears archive.org lost a lawsuit about their hosting free copies of books1. This link (and others like it) might stop working as a result?

Thanks for letting me know, we probably shouldn't link to legally dubious content -- I have opened #3289 to go back to the old link.
