Abstract
The numerical results presented in our paper under the same title (Lambert & Mathews 2006, A&A, 453, 363), have been found to be vitiated by certain errors mentioned below. The results of new calculations now done are tabulated and the main changes from the earlier results are pointed out. Specially notable is the obliquity rate, which is now found to be 1.84 mas/cy, within the range of values found in the earlier literature.

Key words: Earth -- reference systems -- errata, addenda

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

• If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
• You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
• You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
