Thanks, that's exactly what I'm advocating.

Note that there do exist peculiarities with this solution in certain 
special self-collapsing cases (as indeed is the case with any solution) 
due to the discontinuity that exists in 8.3.1.6 between the two 
subcases.  This is the subject of [1] (as-yet unfiled in the Issues 
list), where I provided a proposal that would fully disguise the 
peculiarity if the proposal above were to be adopted.  I'd like this to 
be filed, even if it gets deferred until Errata.  (Note that this is 
similar but unrelated to Issue 207.)
