Yes, my apologies for seeming to ignore the other things you've mentioned. I have been following the discussion but not as closely as I should have. Hopefully I've explained my concerns a little better in my previous email.
The followups seem to suggest to that there is more information on backwards compatibility than I thought. If those items are comprehensive then I should probably volunteer to write the test cases for them. Would that be of any use?
