Comment:

 After some additional thinking and discussion, the current thought is NOT
 to create a new version and cause lots of waves (and probably a whole slew
 of bugs) but to continue using the current WKB format as is.  Instead, we
 will allow end users to specify that they want out-db bands to be treated
 as in-db.  By default, the current behavior where out-db bands return the
 path to the external file will continue.  But if the user says to tread
 out-db as in-db, the behavior will change so that the appropriate data
 contained in the external file will be returned.
