The reason I didn't like 'Mustn't' is that it sounds too much like spoken
language, i.e. slang.
As for the semantic difference of 'may not', 'cannot' and 'must not', you
need to ask someone with a more conscious knowledge of English grammar :-(
I used to know this stuff, but that was well over a decade ago.
We should let the "natives" decide this --- any natives out there? ;-)

I get a warning:
dvips: Warning: missing glyph `dotlessj'
when I do View->PDF and use 'mathptmx', but that's all.

Or times (which also gives 'missing ... dotlessj'. But Herbert keeps
saying these options are depreceated. OTOH, what he recommends is maybe
not available on all systems...

The PDF output looks ok when you use ghostview 3.5.8 as well, but not
when you use Acroread... then it's crappy regardless if I use
View-PDF, View->PDF (dvipdfm) or View->PDF (pdflatex).
I'm using tetex 2.02 and ghostscript 8.00.

Ok
Question: Should we add a list of tables and a list of figures? I'm
guessing there aren't many figures, but maybe there are some tables?
