In "Teucan":
Weber's full name is Weber Franz, i.e., surname first, personal name second;
he swears by Cosmos;
the text refers to the Coordination Service, to a Galaxy too big to be controlled and to an earlier Second Dark Age -
- but there is no reference to any events between the readers' present and that Second Dark Age.
The Cosmos future history could be autonomous.

One complication is that we have two versions of VIRGIN PLANET, a shorter and longer text. Should there be a third volume, collecting only these two texts? That would be convenient for readers interested in comparing how these versions differ from each other.

I agree that both versions should be preserved.

They could comprise a single volume in a hypothetical COMPLETE COLLECTED WORKS, with some appropriate commentary.
