Without going too far on a thread-jack...I can tell you that the current STAC intends to apply that allowance - if it happens - sparingly. However, just like today's Congress can't guarantee you that tomorrow's Congress won't change the laws, you can't count on that being an absolute forever. You have to look at today's verbiage and let your opinions be known based on the worst-case scenario of how it reads, not how you want it to read.

This request is simply a trial balloon, and not likely to result in much - if anything - in 2012. If given the opportunity we will develop a plan of action and a clear sense of direction prior to any implementation.

Then again, all of may get hit by a bus 15 minutes after the BoD says "okey dokey"...
