Ok, this is taking up too much of my time. This was a straight forward proposal, that saw no justified technical objections. If I have to argue till I'm out of breath on the whim of anyone who sends an objection, then this proposal can sit and die. This reminds me why I never get involved in policy. Too much politics to let progress through. I'll just go back to developing, if policy decides I'm no longer important...I'll still keep developing. Ben
