Quite the list!  As a native speaker...

Correct.

Alignment is now off.

Hmm - we aren't really bumping the version when we change the .rng; is
that a bug in our process, or a stale comment worth deleting instead of
spell-checking?  But doesn't stop us from taking this hunk now.

This one is ambiguous (I've seen both spellings; zeros/zeroes is another
such word), but Thunderbird's US spell-check dictionary prefers
embargoes, so go for it.

ACK to all these changes (modulo the alignment fix).
