[r-t] Shipway Minor

[Alexander Holroyd]

I realized after I wrote "in case anyone cares" that it might sound 
dismissive of the extents by Anthony Smith and Jonathan Deane.  That was 
not my intention at all - they are extremely interesting achievements. 
What I meant was that I may be the only person interested in the precise 
wording used in the 1993 RW article.
