Ping,

1) It is not a matter of careful coding. Please refer to my, Alia's and Sundara's emails,
for the problems that can't be mended with careful coding.
2) Is this the new definition of Standardization process: "Implement whatever you want
and by just letting other's know what you have done, expect it to be standardized".
