I ran through the first edition at lunch yesterday
looking for a discussion of this, but did not
find it.  I haven't hit the second edition, but
assume that she wouldn't rehash this old topic
with all the new protocols comming out to discuss.  

I've copied Radia on this mail in case she has
time to wade into this discussion.
