Seems like it wouldn't take to much imagination to take this "newly discovered" use of AMBLIST and the official knowledge of the Program Object format, and come up with a new, fully supported and sanctioned method of determining offsets for SLIPs, etc. Maybe even before the Requirement is submitted.
