Indeed. The other nice piece about getting the opinion of Treat (or
others who have to deal with PCI) is that while the PCI documentation
says what you're supposed to do, the PCI folks also have auditing
requirments (as in, a third-party vendor has to audit your system, and
there are required scans and scanning tools, etc) which don't always
marry up to what they say they require.
Thanks!
