[yul-naco] Fwd: Draft for review: Revised LCRI 26.1 to resolve normalization conflicts

[Steven Arakawa]

Manon, I couldn't get the link to work, but was able to access it via the 
CPSO page:

http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/

I copied this link from the CPSO announcement page; it might work:

http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/26_1.html

(maybe it's the extra underscore on the original message that's causing the 
problem?)
