Hi Nick,

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for bringing this up.  I truncated the table formulas so that
they wouldn't overrun the page.  This lead to an incomplete example
which didn't work.  In the current version of the paper (up at the old
link [1]) I have expanded these formulas and split them across multiple
lines.  Although Org-mode (unfortunately) does not (yet) support
multi-line table formulas, as least all of the required information is
now present so this example should no longer be quite so mystifying.
