<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">As I've mentioned earlier, I think that a proposal to use non-exact matches other than "mark contained" matches ("dumb matches") makes sense to pursue. Various types of matches have been discussed;
however, there has been no actual proposal for "smarter" matches that can be used by the group.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">The attached proposal seek to fill that gap. It is more in the nature of an addendum to the initial proposal on non-exact matches. However, it does provide a more formal proposal on the types
of non-exact matches to be considered. The intent is to provide a sufficient framework to discuss these types of non-exact matches and to add these non-exact matches to the proposal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
