<DT>1.
<DD>Sign convention: the result is positive when the observatory
is receding from the given point on the sky.
<DT>2.
<DD>Accuracy: the simple algorithm used assumes a spherical Earth and
        an observing station at sea level;  for actual observing
        sites, the error is unlikely to be greater than 0.0005&nbsp;km&nbsp;s<SUP>-1</SUP>.
        For applications requiring greater precision, use the routine
        sla_PVOBS.
