Hi Peter

I see that the chapter was written in 2008, but wonder why.  It summarises 
the position with N apis well enough - but that is something that has 
already been well documented many times and which, I think, few of us would 
question.

It is perhaps unfortunate that it then says: 'Both types are presumably very 
similar.'  Once again we have a presumption without any evidence; indeed, 
when the paper was written some important differences were well-known.
Best wishes
