Description

Per the discussion in #150, it's not clear in the description of the DFS that each of the steps below 'Perform a pre-order depth-first search' must be done on each iteration. This might be more clear with another layer of nesting in the description.

Research direction

Read the discussion in #150, then locate the DFS description in the specification. Clarify the wording with an additional nesting level so it explicitly shows that every listed step is performed on each iteration; the work is done when that ambiguity is removed.
