This still won't solve the incompatibility. The only way for the ASSA to apply to just the "current" OM is if there is no TIME. If there is no TIME, then the RSSA makes no sense (most people in the ASSA camp take this point of view). If there is TIME, then the ASSA must apply to all OMs, including future ones. The predicted outcomes differ from that of the RSSA just as we've discussed before. -- *PS: A number of people ask me about the attachment to my email, which is of type "application/pgp-signature". Don't worry, it is not a virus. It is an electronic signature, that may be used to verify this email came from me if you have PGP or GPG installed.
