9. We expect that the Britto-Cachazo-Feng-Witten (BCFW) rules can be derived from an action written on ambitwistor space by direct derivation of the intriguing twistor diagram formalism of from the ambitwistor action. An alternative avenue of attack is the technique of. Both these approaches will involve a gauge choice similar to the CSW gauge.

11. It has recently been pointed out to the author by K. Stelle that this can be made more precise. The reader averse to the words "twistor space" is therefore encouraged to read "nonsupersymmetric Lorentzian harmonic superspace" instead at occurring places.

18. In the recent paper these diagrams were shown to give the correct amplitude in the four-point case. Since these diagrams are actually equivalent to Yang-Mills in light-cone gauge, this is expected.

23. If one wants to fix α=1 in a Lorenz-like gauge-fixing term ∼1α(A)2 one needs an extra renormalization constant for this extra coupling, Zα.
