Fixes to the book

Rates that moved a hundredfold or more were a listing corrected at its source, not a price move, so they are left out of the counts above.

Where list prices stand

Every current listing in the price book, by kind and billing unit; a model sold by three hosts counts three times. Most listings fall between the low and high figures; the odd outlier at either end is left out.
