I'd investigate whether these changes are enough to
satisfy them or whether as someone else suggested they
don't want things like being able to access JMode via

asking may give them ideas) but I'd prefer that than
having that sprung on us a few weeks or months down
the line.
PS: Keep up the good work, Paul.
