Missing "not" in DTD manifest paragraph in OPF 2.0.1

Status:

This is what a paragraph at the top of the Manifest section says about external DTD's:

All DTDs and external entities (including, but not limited to, external DTD references) referenced by XML documents listed in the package manifest are considered part of the publication and thus must also be listed in the manifest. As an exception to that rule, DTDs of certain core document types do not need to be included. The list of DTDs that do need to be included in the manifest is: [list of DTD's]

I'm pretty sure the intended meaning was "do not", as per the original issue text:

All DTDs and external entities (including, but not limited to, external DTD references) referenced by XML documents listed in the package manifest are considered part of the publication and thus must also be listed in the manifest. As an exception to that rule, DTDs of certain core document types do not need to be included. The list of DTDs that do not need to be included in the manifest is: [list of DTD's]

Moving to proposed resolution. This is clearly an editing error in 2.0.1 (*my* error, that is). Baring complaints, this will be moved to "errata" status in a week -- the first errata for 2.0.1.
