I think there is a subtle difference in semantics, in that "None-blocks" are general statements that are not targeted at any specific intermediary, and are there either for information purposes, or for sharing data, whereas "Final-blocks" are specifically targeted at the final intermediary, and you'd hope that they'd processed and acted upon by that intermediary, although you have no guarantee (unless you use "mustUnderstand" (or "mustHappen")). As a side note, I am wondering whether "mustUnderstand" is applicable to "None-blocks"? Jean-Jacques.
