I agree completely.  That was, I think, the most glaring difference, though
there were a few others I felt could go one of two ways.

<<I agree (but with a comma after slim).>>

I assumed they were just leaving out the commas for simplicity's sake.  You
need two commas in "handsome, slim, Canadian snowboarder" no matter which way
it's written.  The only time you don't our double adjective combination that
have come to be understood as singular, such as "pretty little" and "dirty
old".
