Yes, I've been remiss and owe a followup. I convess that I'm not the one with domain expertise in this, but I intend to give it a look within the next few days to see whether I can figure out next steps, if any, for the TAG. My apologies for the delay; it had indeed slipped through the cracks when I went through my post-vacation email in early July, and was "lost" until I was reminded on the 4th of August.
