Folks, the new LM is designed **exactly** to clarify this kind of thing. Please take a look at that; if it's unclear, then let's fix it once in the docs, instead of discussing it on -user every six months.
I think the exact section is LM 4.2.3, but you should probably skim through LM 3 and the beginning of LM 4 before you look at that.
