Obviously it's wrong. Can you offer any better viable workarounds using more appropriate approaches, at the moment, until the bug gets fixed? I would be happy to hear anyone's constructive feedback rather than mean spirited comments, Rob. I was backed into a corner. Anyway, I think in reality the extent of harm possible from this particular workaround kludge is pretty low, I think... If there are more nuanced levels that it is wrong and you would care to enlighten, I would be interested to hear them.

I don't want to investigate any of them.
