of the rules and focus on those issues of most concern. As currently stated, I feel the question is rather vague.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

out a couple questions when many other rules are important to different customers (e.g. do they permit blocks of single character trademarks, what about overrides, etc.). Let's keep it simple and ask for the rules. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
