[Gocamino] nitpicking

[Caroline Mathieson]

I suspect like all things, that the camino has changed (modernised?) a great deal since the time being written about in both Walter Starkie's and the one causing the fuss.

We all know what the situation is today regarding quailfying for compostelas, shells etc so why argue about it?
