    Hi Ian et al.,
    
    A few minor corrections / comments to the latest draft (barely
    on the correct side of midnight ...)
    
    - Author list:  
    I think the newest Norwegian names should be S. Lindal and R. Lystad.
    
    - Several places, scattered throughout the text:
    Au+Au, d+Au, p+p with and without italics
    Same for units (GeV/c etc.)
    
    - Par. 1:
    It's not quite clear to me how the particle production dN/dEta 
    suggests chemical equilibrium.
     
    - Par. 3:  
    Quote Ref. [12] for the UA1 data already here, where the
    p+pbar reference spectrum is mentioned for the first time?
    We have measured similar spectra -> charged hadron spectra?
    
    - Par. 5:
    0% - 10%, etc. -> 0 - 10%, etc. - more readable?
    I notice that "corrected for momentum resolution" has been dropped
    in this version - will the final figures be based on Ian's suggestion
    of utilizing data from the different settings only up to a setting
    dependent max. momentum?
    
    - Par. 6:
    Reference on sigma^{pp}_{inel} = 42 mb?  I think STAR quote some
    other values in their pp paper - 30-something (?) 
    
    - Par. 7:
    ... they tends -> tend towards 1 for the peripheral ...
    ... shows a clear decrease above p_T > 2 _GeV/c_ (add unit.)
    
    - Par. 8:
    "However, the strength of the underlying suppression mechanism (...) 
    may depend on the pseudorapidity density ..."
    It's not quite clear to me how this is different from / expands on 
    the statement made just above.  
    
    - Par. 11:
    ... tranverse -> transverse momentum spectra ...
    
    - References (only checked the sequence):
    Present Ref. [14] (NIM paper) before Ref. [13] (Hijing)
    Exchange Refs. [20] (Gallmeister) and [22] (Vitev)
    
                                             Cheers,  Trine
