So we won't see this one on a meeting agenda; if someone wants to object,
they need to speak up.

+
+So do I take it that the bunch are all within D.2.6?

+Yes, they're all in D.2.6; I found 4 occurrences ultimately (one in old text,
+the rest in the new text).

+
+Shouldn't that be "into" rather than "onto"?
+
+When I go to the bank, I enter into the queue, not onto it.
+
+At least that's the usage I'm familiar with.

+Maybe this is one of the animate/inanimate cases - You're in the queue, but
+that's on the queue...
+
+For me anyways, "Entered into the queue" feels less right than "Entered onto
+the queue".

+Either is fine with me. "Onto" seems a bit more appropriate when talking about
+inanimate objects.

+
+I think it has more to do with one's mental model of a queue. If its a
+horizontal queue, like a pipe, then items get placed into the queue, and
+flow to the other end.
+
+If its a vertical queue, like a stack of papers on the printer, or perhaps
+a consumable queue like a conveyor belt, where one physically places items
+onto (on top) of the queue, then onto works better.
+
+e.g. I am sending my tax return into the queue to be processed. (An inanimate
+ object example)
+ The rescuers queued everyone onto ladder (An animate object onto example)
+
+ I find it difficult to come up with vertical queue examples, I think they
+ may be much less prevalent, which may be why when I search for "onto the
+ queue" in Google, Google tries to correct me by asking, "Did you mean
+ into the queue?"
+
+Anyway, this is a minor nit. I'm happy to let Randy apply whichever he feels
+is more appropriate.

+
+Considering that I applied these changes two days ago, and that I rather gave
+my opinion in the original question, not to mention that everyone else seemed
+to think "onto" sounds better, it should be obvious what I'm going to do.
