<font size="2"><font face="Arial">I like the incremental approach, Tim,
but this plan would present a small problem for me: in the absence of
Meta-AMS in test series A1 I would have to develop an additional
static-configuration capability for my implementation, which it
otherwise doesn't require and wouldn't use.<br>
<br>
But maybe this isn't as much work as I'm imagining it could be; I need
to give this some thought.<br>
