As I said to Daniel (only, by mistake) the "official" Australian style doesn't mean a cracker to this Australian. Like just about everyone else, I rely on mimicry; in my case, my reading over a good many years now. And to _this_ native English speaker and reader, "Darcs's" is appalling usage. It came as a surprise to me that it could be regarded as acceptable. At the end of the day, on this one, you are talking regional usage, with user age specific factors thrown in. -- Peter B.
