Published alongside these papers is a set of highly interesting commentaries by, among others, Paul Barrett, Michael Maraun, Daniel Cervone, Michael Kane, Brian Haig, Andre Rupp, Andrew Kyngdon, Roy Howell, and Brian Hood, as well as an online commentary by Robert Mislevy. In response, there are rejoinders by Joel Michell and Keith Markus - I couldn't resist the temptation to reply either:

All the downloads pertaining to the above papers from the special issue are uncorrected proofs, as I don't have access to the pdf's. They are identical to the published work save for some spelling errors. For the real thing, go to the Measurement website and you can download the entire issue in its finally published form.
