Great. I love not making changes.
   
   I don't think any change is needed. Freel free to take out the
   "human-readable" thing above, but leaving it in won't cause undue damage.
   
I've already started a -08 draft, on the off chance it's needed. The only
things in it are Ulf Moeller's implementation note, and adding an L to all
the constants in the CRC sample code. Does anyone else have an opinion
anout the words "human-readable"?
