And many others you can see in UDG, so for the sake of consistency, I think

"No period on the end of a list" makes sense to me; I'll look out for it
while I'm going through  the UDG  from now on assuming Matt & the rest
agree.

Andy, if you could post a list of which sections you've noticed these errors
in, that would help - or post a series of patches to the list, if you want
to do this editing yourself. Thanks!
