FYI:

Several of you remember I've been concerned about the lack of
"audit-ability" associated with the new Trim feature as relates to the
T13 spec.

I finally found a contact that is on the T-13 committee and have
expressed my concern.  He said the issue was raised at a recent
meeting of the committee and that a sub-group was tasked with making a
recommendation.  He said that he understands my concern and said he
would push to ensure that some sort of "reliable data" flag be in the
eventual spec.

Obviously he is just one person, so no guarantees, but I am happy to
have finally connected with someone on the committee.
