It's all a bit of a mouthful, so I'd be happy if we could have come up with simpler language, but it's hard to write it any simpler without loosing the exactitude of what I'm trying to say. I'm happy to see future edits that simplify the language. At the very least we now say something about this corner case so people aren't caught off guard. -- Cheers, Carlos.
