Your above mail and the one I just sent "crossed" each other (I sent 
mine before my emailer polled for new stuff).  It' looks like you are 
confirming more-or-less what I just wrote.  Ok.  I agree.  I'll take 
out the propagation.  Stay tuned.

Hey, it's seemed like a good idea at the time.  But then that's what 
this discussion list is for, i.e., discussions.

Thanks.
