Unfortunately, the errors that I reported turned out to be only the 
tip of the iceberg with that particular volume. Another contributor 
(Michel Mohr) had half of his Pinyin inexplicably changed to 
Wade-Giles; the title of my article is given differently in the table 
of contents, and so on. A disaster. So far, Oxford has not responded 
to my requests for an explanation, and the volume editors tell me that 
I should not pay undue attention to "glitches" and instead try to look 
on the bright side of things.

Lesson learned, again.
