Well that's sorted then, thanks. I assumed based on equation (2.1)  
that it would be a 15-point rule because (2.1) gives the fifth order  
quadrature rule defined in arbitrary dimension, and that includes the  
w_0 term. But they mention that Table 2.1 gives "simplified" versions  
of the quadrature rules in 2D or 3D, so I guess the w_0 term drops  
out in this simplified form.

hehe, well the way the paper is written doesn't inspire me with  
confidence in their results, so I'd be very interested to hear the  
results of the comparisons.
