Rae Jean,
I agree with you. The surety in TMG doesn't change and neither should it in FTST. It's either a bug or a change in design I don't really agree with.
Otherwise, for the sake of consistency, all 2-principal tag sureties should be switched according to which person we're viewing. I must admit, I don't like that idea!

Ken,
while I see your point, when you open the tag, the parent is the first principal, not the child (at least in my TMG and FTST ;-) ) as you stated, unless I misunderstood.

Just my 2 cents worth,
Astrid
