Peter, As this comment affects several documents, I'll respond. As a general point, it is helpful if you can provide links to the sections of documents where you have a problem with the text, or at the least section numbers. Specifically about this point, I don't yet see the contradiction to which you refer. Can you offer a test case to illustrate this contradiction. Brian
