You might want to add a general statement about optional clauses which require release-time steps from the "author", which would cause problems if invoked, but which haven't been invoked. Right now, the handling for such things seems to be common sense, but with a general trend away from solving specific problems and towards philosophical purity, I can imagine a time in the future where "common sense" no longer suffices. -- Raul
