 >So for plus you can just refer to "addition" but for the inverse trig
 functions you need to tie down branch cuts and refering to an external
 refernce is one way to do that without having to mention any details of
 why the definition of the function might not be obvious.

 I don't know if David has a typo or not, but I do not  think we should
 specify where the branch cut lies.  If I remember correctly, Maple and
 Mathematica differ on where they do branch cuts.  Do we want to favor one
 over the other?  have two sets of arc trig functions?  Maybe NAG uses even
 different branch cuts...

 That's why, the less said, the better.
