    People get different things out of the printed book; I personally don't need
    the code charts; I always look at online versions. But many people find
    printed charts very useful; de gustibus non disputandum est.

    As to the comments; this may seem recursive, but if you file an online
    report requesting feedback, it will be taken up at the UTC.
