I agree with Shawn. I only re-opened the discussion because someone, reasonably, asked for support for what happend to be my position. I recognize that the support I had was not exactly what was requested.
AFAIK, both sided of the issue have been fully explored -- at least until (if) we get an "official" interpretations. Although, depending on what that interp is, it still may not change some minds.
Accordingly, I'm closing this thread. If someone has additional reference material, on either side, feel free to start a new thread on this, or to contact me to re-open this one.
