Nitpick, but could we split the second half (from "cite an existing
CFJ...") out into a 4th list item? The paragraph 2201(2)(3) always seemed
a bit unwieldy when the other items in the list were only a few words, and
now that the part about citations doesn't even refer exclusively to the
"initiate a CFJ" situation, it makes even less sense to treat it as a
single option.
