I'm not sure I like the idea of putting that in the guidelines. Maybe it is
sufficient to remind people of the IAAMOAC principle a bit more often? In fact
one of the things I like so much about the list is that this tolerance
guideline never was a necessety. I still think it isn't. Just a friendly
reminder now and again should suffice to keep things cool enough. Anyway that's
just my opinion. :o)
