No, Simon, I'm *not* confirming the words you're trying to put into my mouth. If someone has a specific need for the use of a specific CWS, then let them start a specific thread here on the dev list. That's the most direct way to a clear resoution. I don't think the use of proxies asking vague questions and speaking inaccurate generalities will help anyone.
