I have a copy of the paper and may be able to answer simple questions.
Notation appears similar to that in Hastie et al Statistical Learning
and related papers by Friedman et al. STAT-L could be a better venue for
questions related to statistical methodology.

I've read it, although I am not sure where it is, right now.

It's hard to discuss notation here, given the limits of , but we can
try.

I know David Cassell has read it,  probably with more understanding than
me; he seems to be getting back to the L, perhaps he can answer, as well
