Re: List attention: Meaning of bare values in "advanced" constraints?

Yes.

At the interim in DC, it was my understanding that we agreed on bare ==
exact in advanced and bare == ideal in top-level.  I think bare == exact is
the only thing that makes sense in advanced.  And while we've previously
had tons of discussion around bare == ideal in top-level, I believe that's
still what we've agreed on.
