Sorry, but that's incorrect. "ESuT" is commonly<br>
used by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.</div></blockquote></div><br>My apologies; that comment was based simply on the strikingly low number of results from a couple quick Google searches. (I admit I didn't really look at the results themselves, as I now see that some ATSB reports using "ESuT" do appear around position #5 for that term in the .au domain.)</div>

Strike "no documented use" from my earlier comment and replace it with "little documented use".</div>
