I'm sorry, i have a hard time believing the view of what amounts so far to 2 people is that of the standard committee. After all, if the standard is really that unclear, someone could file a DR and we could get an official answer. We both know that standards committees are not made up of 1 or 2 people, and saying "people who designed and wrote the standard offer their view and interpretation of of they wrote " is not useful when they do not actually speak for the committee. --Dan
