Ahh, so you're saying that the FINCOM process over-reached when they
first developed the policy and now we are dealing with the results of
an inconsistent implantation of a public policy (10 years late)?   ;-)
   Strange barrier for the FINCOM to draw when the accountants set bit
sizes on public policy.

I whole heartily agree that the FINCOM should set the fee structure
(actual dollar values), but not bit boundaries that should be
contained within the PDP with everything else creating the policy.
