Sorry Christian, but this is factually incorrect.
NH in its present form has NOT been in the GL for more than a decade.
As I said in my posting yesterday, the present version is a complete
rewrite of the original chapter which has only this week been presented
for consideration as a new material.
Another strategy might of course be to revisit the original version of
this chapter (in P4). whip out all the stuff about concur, and see
what's left. It's a moot point whether this would be more or less time
consuming or productive than the other options now being proposed.
