Corrections to Chapter 4 of The XML Bible, Structuring Data

p. 70-71: The XML is fine, but the actual numbers for Hideki Irabu are incorrect. They should be:

<PLAYER>
  <GIVEN_NAME>Hideki</GIVEN_NAME>
  <SURNAME>Irabu</SURNAME>
  <POSITION>Starting Pitcher</POSITION>
  <WINS>13</WINS>
  <LOSSES>9</LOSSES>
  <SAVES>0</SAVES>
  <GAMES>29</GAMES>
  <GAMES_STARTED>28</GAMES_STARTED>
  <COMPLETE_GAMES>2</COMPLETE_GAMES>
  <SHUT_OUTS>1</SHUT_OUTS>
  <ERA>4.06</ERA>
  <INNINGS>173</INNINGS>
  <HOME_RUNS_AGAINST>27</HOME_RUNS_AGAINST>
  <RUNS_AGAINST>79</RUNS_AGAINST>
  <EARNED_RUNS>78</EARNED_RUNS>
  <HIT_BATTER>9</HIT_BATTER>
  <WILD_PITCHES>6</WILD_PITCHES>
  <BALK>1</BALK>
  <WALKED_BATTER>76</WALKED_BATTER>
  <STRUCK_OUT_BATTER>126</STRUCK_OUT_BATTER>
</PLAYER>
p.71: In the sidebar header, there's really no reason for "IS" to be captialized. Change "Terseness in XML Markup IS of Minimal Importance" to "Terseness in XML Markup is of Minimal Importance".

p. 74: The XML is fine but the numbers for Tom Glavine are off in Example 4-1. The correct stats are:

<PLAYER>
  <SURNAME>Glavine</SURNAME>
  <GIVEN_NAME>Tom</GIVEN_NAME>
  <POSITION>Starting Pitcher</POSITION>
  <WINS>20</WINS>
  <LOSSES>6</LOSSES>
  <SAVES>0</SAVES>
  <GAMES>33</GAMES>
  <GAMES_STARTED>33</GAMES_STARTED>
  <COMPLETE_GAMES>4</COMPLETE_GAMES>
  <SHUT_OUTS>3</SHUT_OUTS>
  <ERA>2.47</ERA>
  <INNINGS>229.1</INNINGS>
  <HITS_AGAINST>202</HITS_AGAINST>
  <HOME_RUNS_AGAINST>13</HOME_RUNS_AGAINST>
  <RUNS_AGAINST>67</RUNS_AGAINST>
  <EARNED_RUNS>63</EARNED_RUNS>
  <HIT_BATTER>2</HIT_BATTER>
  <WILD_PITCHES>3</WILD_PITCHES>
  <BALK>0</BALK>
  <WALKED_BATTER>74</WALKED_BATTER>
  <STRUCK_OUT_BATTER>157</STRUCK_OUT_BATTER>
<PLAYER>
