For completeness, some more references.

Steinzor's article refers to James Inge's 2007 article on Safety Cases in the SSS, with a version
also in ISSC http://safety.inge.org.uk/20071115-Inge2007a_The_Safety_Case-U.pdf  It's a useful read,
and well-written. James is here, so I'm a little surprised he didn't chip in when we were discussing
what a safety case was in January.

Dewi Daniels pointed out that his review of Nancy's paper on safety cases appeared on the York list
at http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/hise/safety-critical-archive/2012/0294.html

I suggest that the thread on Safety Cases in mid-2012 is worth looking at again. I particularly like
Martyn's succinct statement at http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/hise/safety-critical-archive/2012/0230.html
, as I said at the time.
