My memory of the spelling resolution is the same.
I asked Don the same question and (from memory) his reply was that 
he did not intend to change the title on the magazine cover
(CoHousing).   I suspect the spelling thruout his update is in part an
artifact of old habits.  My intent on all cohousing-L pages and writing I
do is to have no punctuation or special capitalization in the word
cohousing.  However, in general I am not going to edit other people's
spelling.
