I saw a few typos: for "tagname" read "element name", for "XMLName" read
"XML name", for "builtin" read "built-in", for "segement" read "segment",
for "Booleans" read "booleans", for "consitsing" read "consisting", for
"An possible" read "A possible", for "oter" read "other", for "mininum"
read "minimum", for "pre-defined" read "predefined", for "Testsuite" read
"Test suite".

On reflection, I don't think this is so important for SRFI 107, where the
list of names is fixed (other than the entity names, which are (constant)
variables anyway).  It matters more for SRFIs 108 and 109.
