G'day indeed Greg,

Nice to hear from you.  If you recall or review a few of my prior posts
on the matter, you'll find I was wondering the same thing.

I myself don't see the point at this, uh, point, besides the minor
patches to CDT, everything else is somewhat redundant and only serves to
cause confusion.

Cheers,

Mike.
