Since then the people who originally proposed this policy have reversed themselves and do not plan to implement it in B 2.11, so I have correspondingly removed it from C news (at least on utcs; not all C news sites have this latest version) and am now awaiting the release of B 2.11 to see what the policies du jour *really* are. -- Geoff Collyer utzoo!utcs!geoff, geoff@cs.toronto.cdn
