Sorry I sat on this for a week; I've not ignored it.

The change made me uncomfortable, despite the fact that I didn't really
disagree with anything in it.  I guess I feel that there's only so far
that it makes sense to go with big long lists of do's and don't's.
That document is plenty long already...  So I put together something
shorter which tries to focus on the problem at a higher level.  

But maybe others disagree?

Thanks,

jon
