RE: [cgmo-webcgm] Just some typos

Lofton,

Regarding "implementor" versus "implementer" the Compact Oxford English
dictionary votes for the latter.  See http://www.askoxford.com/

Regarding "gray" versus "grey" both spellings are acceptable.  However, I
only found the "gray" variation used once in CGM:1999 on page 92.
Everywhere else, e.g. T.14.1 of the Model Profile, I find the "grey"
variation.  Where in that document did you find "grayscale"?

"Notices - first para, change implementors to implementers"  -- I have one 
spell checker (Amaya) that accepts both.  I have another (Eudora) that 
rejects both.  Anyone know about this word?

"...WebCGMString... vs WebCGMstring kind of stuff" -- I found two 
occurrences of "WebCGMstring" and changed to "WebCGMString".

"T20.34 COLOUR TABLE model profile entry, should Greyscale be 
Grayscale?"  CGM:1999 says "grayscale" for the entry for MetDesc, and this 
is the only normative usage -- the value in the ColourClass 
substring.  Therefore I changed any occurrences of "grey" to "gray" (all 
such occurrences are editorial, occurring in prose references to the value 
selected by the MetDesc parameter value.)
