Part of negotiating the complexity budget is to also beware of precedent setting, i.e., accepting new small items may invite the advancing of other new small items, each of which is well below the complexity budget. But even then, I think I still agree on this one. A shame no one thought to advance it at the historic May meeting. > /be > -- Cheers, --MarkM
