Ian,

Thanks very much!

I have been in touch with Kathleen and one of her former students, and
they have given me good starting points for her body of work --- which
indeed I need to look through in detail.

I'll need to look more carefully (I haven't yet done the homework I need
to do), but I believe the perspective in most of the newer articles are
different because they're not trying to solve exactly the same problems
or in exactly the same way. But I will decide for myself after I look
properly. I am waiting for referee reports and allowing some space to
look at things with fresh eyes before I do this.

If you indicate specific papers (which is probably best done as a private
e-mail), I will make sure to check those extra carefully, as I obviously
want to make sure things are stated fairly in the final article.
