Thanks again, Chris! I always worry I'm nitpicking, and I figured that you and fos probably had a general "we don't want to use the rules to exclude someone" philosophy, so I'm grateful to be able to sort out my questions here.
I have to admit I'm acutely aware/worried of what can go wrong, and I suspect others will be glad to know you guys have some flexibility in the event of some weird case popping up. It really helps to know you all considered it in advance, so during crunch time there is one less thing to worry about.
