Recommend that ASSO not be used to replicate other standard structures.

Recommend that sources and notes about the starting of parent-child relationships be put under a BIRT, ADOP, or CHR.

Clarify that HEAD.SOUR.DATA may be used for data sources that are not technically databases.

Clarify that unsupported HTML tags should be ignored, not entire elements.

Note that some applications have historically ignored PLAC.FORM structures.

Remove the ambiguous "month code" term from the spec, using the defined stdTag term instead.

Change how EXID.TYPE values are registered from a single JSON file in the GEDCOM repository to a separate YAML file for each value in the GEDCOM-registries repository.

Update scripts that extract YAML from the spec to be more consistent in where quotes are used and to extract more information from tables into YAML files.
