Thanks.

Yes, I know.  I am working on a bibliography - that was why I did the
MSC2000 and PACS work earlier.  I wanted to have the "final" Axiom
system in place and integrate my bibliography properly with that.  As
you know we don't (yet) have a final solution to that, and I tried to
push towards something that could be a final solution before building
my final bibliography.  Unfortunately, in all that, I didn't get proper
references into the units paper yet.  As I said earlier it's
unfinished, and when it IS finished it will be properly cited.

Er, yes - that's a typo.  Thanks for spotting it!
