While we made provision in 4646 for possibly accepting them in the future, it was by no means a done-deal. The only reason I've heard advocated for them is that it makes matching easier. But in practice, we have simply not found that to be true. If it is indeed worthwhile to add this mechanism to 4646, a good case needs to be made for it; and inertia isn't a good case. Mark
