Well I wanted to emphasise that the address was for the location to which
the relocation would be applied, rather than the address of the relocation
itself.

Not really. I confess that I wrote this code as a way of teaching
myself about the RELR format and the notes were there mainly as a
reminder to myself.

It is, and I have gone ahead and checked it in on your behalf. :)
Cheers
