Will do. I just obtained a hard copy of P:tLoS to study a little more seriously.

Are there any specific issues to watch out for? Is there a better source for understanding Cox's theorem you could point me to?

Halpern gives a correct proof of one of the rigorous variations on Cox's theorem, and gives a counterexample to Cox's theorem for a set of propositions that's too small to satisfy the density requirement.
