I am amazed that published papers would go into this detail about what
they have done and in what order.  A good thing in this case.  But
Iremember a case where the referree refused to accept a paper when the
AIPS tasks were mentioned without a published paper on each one!  He
was happy when the author removed the references to the tasks.
