Right, and we want to find a way to show that these exceptions can work in the filtering. This is why the zeroeth filter is immutable (no exceptions), the others perhaps less so. > I'd have to draw a flow chart to explain it, and email is a very poor > medium for this.

I think we are looking for something that can be a filter/flow to refer to that shows how you manage good enough and exceptions, which doesn't embody every exception. However, having a page that explains our exceptions/hair splitting case-by-case would be useful. Pretty pictures might help there. :) - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Sr. Developer Community Mgr.
