New Revision: 1285

Modified:
   trunk/src/en/book/ch07.xml
Log:
Maybe, just maybe, make a commit not covered in idiocy.  For an algorithm
*I conceived*, I sure seem to be having trouble describing it.  Fortunately,
there's Ben, whose brain is (for now, at least) still functional.

* src/en/book/ch07.xml
  Don't call an "at sign" an ampersand, but do show the literal glyph.
  And leave a placeholder for the peg revision algorithm.
