This has been my view, too, but I'm starting to see some plausible benefit in at 
least permitting co-existence.

So, I still believe that the safest policy is the old list rule we established: 
  you break it, you own it.

But recent discussions makes additional scenarios just too tantalizing to 
prohibit.  (And too complex to pursue right now.)
