So you're suggesting that the remainder of 10 be merged into 11?  That seems to 
make sense.

Thanks, that works (with the warning about what might happen if you don't 
comply included from the previous version).

That's a "reporting-discovery" thing, which I think we've essentially dropped

I think we need to discuss it further if we want to use the word SHOULD.  As it

generator can choose to use either.  I don't think we need to say anything 
normative about that.
