Edition notes and known limitations

This Schedule I preserves the base convention article sequence I–XXXI. It does not silently apply the separately printed amending protocols in Schedules II–VI.

Complete official XML of the Act and five amending protocols is separately retained under xml/ca-us-1980-with-protocols/.

Source-page annexes and diplomatic notes are retained as supplements, not appended to Article XXXI.

Capture SHA256 identifies complete retained publisher-text extraction, not original HTML transport bytes or any PDF.

Full capture/provenance: html/ca-us-1980-schedule/proof.json

v3 clean source sections: top-level searchable supplements have exact source offsets/hashes. Government navigation/footer and implementing-order explanatory notes remain in capture but are not treaty/legal supplement units.

Source authority, text completeness and currentness still require human review.
