Check & update 1051
Fixed links e.g. to be relative, to avoid going via the 'bibliography' Removed link to 1040 (see #64 (comment)) Fix the two links which said they were to 1250-summary-table but weren't (even in the live page!) Removed {nbsp}s, some of which were preventing ASCIIdoc "constrained bold" formatting See #96 - there's some duplication between this page & 1051.
