OK, I left that alone.
I can't escape the feeling that section 22.2 could do with a complete
rewrite, though --- it seems awkward and full of unnecessary jargon.
In particular I think we could do without the phraseology about
"collation derivations". But I've been staring at it for too long now
to have a good idea what to do instead.
