We have to make tradeoffs here. Keeping markup intact doesn't automatically trump all other considerations, and therefore sometimes it has to be acceptable. Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
