That's an awfully good point, and one of the things that is so obvious to most of us veterans that we fail to see the necessity for writing it down; I would think that if we do have to update the NS spec, it would probably be worth adding a sentence to the paragraph that defines "identical", just underlining this point. Unless we go for compulsory absolutization of course, in which case it's not necessary. -Tim
