  IDB
   A number of corrections made following the approval of this dictionary 
   in principle by COMCIFS.
   The underscore in all space group names has been removed and the text
   modified to indicate that underscores are only permitted to allow earlier
   space group tables to be read.
   _space_group.name_H-M changed to _space_group.name_H-M_ref
   An enumeration list added to _space_group.nameH-M_ref
   The 1995 H-M names for space groups 39, 41, 64, 67 and 68 introduced
   Aliases to _symmetry_space_group_name_H-M removed from _*.name_H-M_ref
   ^ replaced by . in Schoenflies names (e.g. C2h^4 replaced by C2h.4)
   Changes made in the text of _*.reference_setting
   _*.transformation_rotation_xyz and _*_origin_shift replaced by
   _*.transformation_Pp_abc and _*. transformation_Qq_xyz

  IDB
   The links between the space_group category and the
   space_group_symop and space_group_Wyckoff categories are
   corrected as well as the links between space_group_symop and the
   various geom_ categories.

   Brian McMahon:
   Changed type of _space_group_symop.sg_id to numb at request of IDB.

  IDB
   Further clarifications and corrections from Wondratschek and
   Grosse-Kunstleve.  Dictionary checked in vcif.

   Brian McMahon:
   Structural review for COMCIFS. Some reformatting and cleaning up of
   minor typos. Checked against vcif and cyclops.

  IDB
   Further clarification of definitions as suggested by Aroyo,
   Wondratschek, Madariaga and Grosse-Kunstleve, particularly
   clarification of the Hermann-Mauguin symbols and Bravais types and
   changes to conform to the usage of ITA.
0.05 2000-01-12
  IDB
   Further clarifications to definitions as suggested by Aroyo,
   Wondratschek, Madariaga, Litvin and Grosse-Kunstleve.
   Removal of all matrix forms of matrices (leaving xyz form) in the hope
   that a new DDL will make matrix representation simpler.
   Removal of *_Wyckoff_cond and *_Wyckoff_cond_link categories until a
   new DDL simplifies their structure.
   Added _space_group.transform_* items

   Numerous typographical errors corrected
0.03 1999-09-01
  IDB
   Definitions of _space_group.IT_number, *.name_schoenflies

   changed to those supplied by Litvin and Kopsky.
   *.setting_code changed to *.it_coordinate_system_code.
   *.name_H-M-K dropped.
   *.Patterson_symmetry_H-M changed to *.Patterson_name_H-M and
   enumeration list corrected.
   *.reference_setting added
   In category space_group_symop 'operator' changed to 'operation'.
    _space_group_symop.operation_matrix changed to conform to IT.
    _space_group_symop.generator_* added.
    _space_group.reference_setting added.
    _space_group_Wyckoff.* and related categories rewritten to avoid
   conflicting parent-child relations.  Removal of *_coord.* and addition
   of *_cond_link.*
