I agree that those things could be used to further enhance it or make 
its use of words more technically accurate.  However, I also don't know 
when I'll have time to do that further work on the change, and wanted to 
get at least a start in place rather than let these changes sit unseen 
in my tree for another six months.  (As they have for the last six.)

Make sense?
