I'm afraid I don't follow. I agree with everything you say, but I don't understand why you say it now in response to what you quote, above. Do you find my summary (above) inaccurate ? It seems to me that what you describe with ABC etc., is "difficult" and is in accorance with the 2005 GR procedure. I haven't explained the 2005 GR procedure in detail in my summary, of course. Thanks, Ian. -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own.
