Ah, so my assumption was true :-) Good to know.

Since a similar fix by mondo occurred already in r1.15 of
devel/constitution.wml (there happened even more typo and formatting fixes in
the past) and since only the header of the file is affected I see no problem.

Another minor issue:
http://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.1.2.en.html
contains:
"Version 1.1"
"Version 1.0"
but
"version 1.3"
"current version, 1.4"

(inconsistent capitalisation).

Manoj?
