I'm better with this version; thanks.  I do feel that we're effectively
using "assessment" as a proxy for "the R-word" which goes back to the
concern I voiced long ago about not requiring the verifier to pass on
other values including i= if they're present.  It seems to me that this
is effectively dictating the operation of the (wink wink, nudge nudge)
assessor.    But I won't belabor that, since it seems that the rough
consensus felt otherwise.

The important point now is responding to Cullen's concerns that the new
text doesn't clarify things adequately.
