In the teleconference minuted at
http://www.w3.org/mid/CADhPm3s4ZmQJVgJu3pAnnHH6Q0SU3B+t5MBkLhggfD7-J=xuqg@mail.gmail.com
Simon Fraser (smfr) brought up some more complicated issues with

fine as well.

Otherwise, of course, I'm happy to see your analysis, since it comes
to the same conclusion that I've been advocating all along. :-)
