Although I would support such a change (but not 
demand it, now that we have done this once, it 
will not be such a challenge again - I know, 
famous last words), I would sugest thatwe keep 
track of changes that are needed as we go through 
the process and then, if they are of sufficient 
merit, do an update at some future date.
