Hi Boaz,

I read the K&K paper as primarily a justification for including extremely weak 
data in refinement (and of course introducing a new single statistic that can 
judge data *and* model quality comparably).  Using CC1/2 to gauge resolution 
seems like a good option, but I never got from the paper exactly how to do 
that.  The resolution bin where CC1/2=0.5 seems natural, but in my (limited) 
experience that gives almost the same answer as I/sigI=2 (see also K&K fig 3).
