Opt Subject: PRI #550 UAX #41 reference to [Knuth78]

https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr41/tr41-37.html includes this reference:

   [Knuth78]	Donald E. Knuth, et al., Breaking Lines into Paragraphs, republished in Digital Typography, CSLI 78 (Stanford, CA: CLSI Publications, 1997)

Typo 1: The title is wrong and doesn't make sense as is. The paper is actually called “Breaking Paragraphs into Lines”.

Typo 2: In the parenthesis, CSLI is misspelled as CLSI.

This reference has had these typos ever since the very first reference to this paper in UAX #14 (really UTR #14 at the time) revision 5 from 1999-aug-20:

https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14-5/ = https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14-5/tr14-5.pdf
