I'm happy with this.

I can now see three, I think, reasons to have an "articles concept" section
in the document, so I'm going to add it in the next draft. I'll start
wordsmithing then. This will cover this stuff among others.

Charles, can you please provide a good example of the quoting/backslash
problem? Or is Russ's:

      <"abcd"@example.com>
      <"ab\cd"@example.com>

fine?
