Yep, it's been doing the rounds there quite a bit. In fact, these two issues are ones I've discussed with Dan Brickley a few times, hoping that it would be possible to get some organisation to take on the standards work needed to get us to a 95% solution (anything more than that is impossible, I think). I don't know how to get it started though... Regards, Morten
