Reality is that what you're doing has been problematic, which is why PMS contains the wording that it does. That you happen to have gotten away with it in a particular case is not grounds for amending the specification to incorrectly claim that the general case will work. You may find it helpful to investigate exactly what "reality" is. As is often the case, "reality" is not "what you want it to be". If you really want PMS changed, you'll need to produce a list of specific behaviours that have consistently been safe. -- Ciaran McCreesh
