Allen - Please consider it noted. <g>

Someone a week or so ago suggested that all sentences be tested. I think
that is a good idea. Maybe WG should get a group of knowledgeable users put
together and assign each person so many sentences to test out. While this
would not necessarily resolve the role/witness problems that Teresa pointed
out this morning, it would help clean up the sentences.
