Also and even with the recent DPL delegations, which seem to have been widely accepted, I think it's a good thing to document this with a GR. Since Lucas has posted this, I was just to busy to read this short proposal thoroughly, thats why I havent send this mail earlier. Josips mail today prompted me to finally do it :) regards, Holger
