But should they be > allowed? Possibly. I'm not saying no, but do have some concerns. I think this is a genuine edge case.

That said, I have some concerns on points, see later replies to the thread. --=20 David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
