IMHO > it needs to be clarified. I also prefer Brian's text. Just remembering that it took a long time to reach consensus. My impression was that some people preferred to retain the ambiguity. But not me, so I vote for Brian's clarified text. One extra comma, though: "... inserted, deleted, or modified ..." Bert
