Ah, sorry, we're talking at cross purposes, and it's my fault.
The question I now see that you actually asked was about the standard
for prospective relief; I thought you were suggesting that chart as a
basis for deciding the standard for injunctive relief generally, and I
started on that subject. Which was quite silly of me; on looking again
it is obvious that you weren't and couldn't have been. It's my fault for
replying when distracted by other things.
Sorry for this misunderstanding.
