I suppose that I'll have to trust you on this score, and hope that you're 
correct.  Unfortunately, however, even if you are correct, it doesn't 
mean that the law that eventually makes it through commitee will provide 
any useful guidelines. <shrug> But this thread has decended to noizes, so 
I'm out. 

Adios..
