You're welcome, Barbara.  I hope that the explanation helped others as
well.  Please take the feedback that an ASCB is an ASCB as a good thing;
it's when the storage serves as part of several structures that you've
found a symptom of what's been going wrong.

You are correct that I was floating an idea that's been forming recently -
one where I hoped to get feedback before the proposed implementation or an
alternative was chosen.  If the specific one sounds useful, it should be
quite a small change but one that we'd need to also surface to the owners
of formal publications, our testing groups, and others.  It takes away the
fun that goes with doing something one day and sharing it with folks up and
down the hallway the next, but a lot more can benefit this way.
