In response to a request from Steve off-list, here is the result of a quick dash through my database to find 'key' readings on the Value-form. The items have been chosen on the grounds of pertinence and topicality. It is no doubt too long for Steve's purposes, given time constraints. So I have posted it on-list: a.. in case other members may be interested b.. in the hope that others may fill in any lacunae c.. in the hope that some of the authors cited may be better able to prioritise their own and others work in order to generate a more manageable list.
