_Punctuation, Spacing, Capitalization:_

Phrase breaks where a comma is followed by a capital letter, or a
period by a lower-case letter, are not individually noted.

Number forms such as "those. ij. last" or "line. A.B." were silently
regularized to "those .ij. last" and "line .A.B." Missing sentence-final
periods at the end of a printed line were silently supplied.
