Thanx for the info.  This is kind of how I read it, but for whatever reason
this all did not seem cleae to me.  I assume the spec will probably change for
better or worse in the very near future, so I guess these sort of specific
questions are all much about nothing for the time being.

Thanx anyways for the clarifification...
