The text agreed by Sipser is shown twice: first in the beginnig of the article and again in the beginnig of the Appendix. There are two execution traces: one on pare 3, another in the Appendix. The relation between them is not explained. More generally, the roloe or the purpose of the Appendix is not clear. -- Mikko
