Helmy - Further to your message of today (below), can you satisfy my
curiosity by answering the following questions:
1. Would you envisage the 14 rules ever changing?
2. If so,
a) what do you consider would be the most sensible/likely area of change
b) what would be the timescale?
All the best, Victor
