Hi, Jon.

I can see how this can be confusing. I personally don't think of the
state numbers as part of the state name, I just think "Fix Available",
but you are correct, in this context we should always use the complete
name of the states. I've updated this in my working repository.

I've added a note to that effect. This reminds me that I really need
to find a way to incorporate my "todo" list into the main-line
document. It isn't critical for people to see all of the small
corrections I need to remind myself to do (they should just be made),
but I think it is necessary to track issues for sections which will be
written in the future.
Thanks,
