Sure - happy to help. :)

I've not tested it - I was hoping that someone might explain how
RELATED was inserted into the rules in the first place. Who reasoned
about it? Does anyone feel that I'm off base?

I'm happy to help once we know the direction. It isn't clear to me
that this is interesting or useful. In general, I'm happy to do all
four once we've had a bit of a discussion. I feel like I need a sanity

that makes some sense. I'm actually not completely sure.

All the best,
Jake
