Despite having Matt has argued this position at length, consensus
has not emerged.  In discussing this issue in future, I will be
careful to point out that there are those who, unlike me, regard
unqualified local elements as a good idea.  I hope that people who 
share Matt's viewpoint will be equally careful to point out that 
their views are not universal.  -Tim
