Peter,

Thanks for making us aware of this info.  I'm sorry that there has
been no other response so far.

Changes to our regulatory rules database are typically proposed in the
form of a patch.  This promotes specificity in making such changes.
I suspect that you are unfamiliar with this form of change proposal,
so I have taken a first whack at it.

While I maintain the database, I am not as radio proficient as I
perhaps should be.  I normally leave writing such patches for others,
and wait for some level of agreement to be reached before applying
changes.  In this case, it is quite likely that I have overlooked
something or misinterpreted (or simply misunderstood) your change
suggestions.

I hope that you and others will take a moment to comment and/or
suggest further changes to my proposed changes below.  Without some
affirmative commentary I will not apply any derivative of the changes
specified below.

Thanks!

John
