Notes/questions for coauthors -- and to-do list (David will take responsibility, unless other coauthors are expressly noted here): For the first part of the paper, through the end of sec. 3 -- Abstract: Jon, best citation for Vink's models? Table 1: stellar parameters in Puls et al. 2006 are just taken from other papers by the same group (Repolust; Markova) -- check and see which "4"s should be replaced by "5"s and "6"s. Jon can you check this, too? RV corrections -- should check close binaries, too (viz. orbital motion) Subsections on resonance scattering (definitely in \S3) and porosity (probably in \S3 also, but maybe in \S5) are still to be written (by David). They'll be brief. The resonance scattering subsection just has to explain the adjustment we'll make when we do the ensemble taustar fits for epsilon Ori, with a little background. The porosity subsection will probably look at two high S/N lines, one with high taustar and one with low taustar, and show that hinf has to be very big to have an impact on the derived taustar. There will be significantly more questions and action items for sections 4 and 5.
