Thanks Rebecca, I'll think about submitting the sources but I am
unclear on what standards a resource must meet to be included in the
source list.  The IHO example, for instance, is basically a paper map
printed in 1953 but which is used widely.

Are there guidelines about what characteristics make a source valid
for inclusion in the source code list?
