     I was seeking to have what I thought was policy enforced, not to
propose a new policy.  My recollection was that parallel version
numbers were mentioned as policy by Christian Schwarz last spring.  It
is apparent that either my memory is faulty or the policy group
suffers from collective selective amnesia.  Since the latter is
unlikely, it must be my memory at fault.

     Agreed, and done.
