The style used in typesetting the second edition of the Icon book is the one specified by the publisher. We're aware, of course, of the visual ambiguity of "el" and "one". That ambiguity occurs not just in sans-serif faces; for many line-printer and screen faces it is easy to confuse the two characters. We try to avoid program text where this ambiguity is serious.
