Thanks for your input Tim! I'm with you on this issue. Does anyone in PSC  
care to discuss further? (Based on the limited feedback so far, I assume  
it's not of top importance.) Otherwise, I would go ahead and write up a  
"policy" (as Tim roughly described above). Most likely, I would write it  
up in the dev meeting week so we can talk about it there if anyone is  
interested.

Best wishes,
Anita
