Jon! Come academic or not at all! I think that your suggestion _has
merit_. (I don't want to appear to have gone for the okey-doke [heard
a black comic use this on CC, the other night; surprised that it still
lives], if it's proved to be incorrect. OTOH, if it *does* turn out to
be correct, well, I've never doubted your perspicacity.) <har! har!>
