Actually, gien the differences in rendition, documents (if we ever have 
such) about color or gray scale may be exactly when you do NOT want to 
use color and grayscale.  Slight mis-rendition could easily result in 
quite confusing documents.

Our initial agreement did include that we would revisit this.  And get 
publication expertise on the known problems in this space would be very 
helpful.  (We are not the first folks to wrestle with these issues.)

Yours,
Joel
