Hi Kerry,
Many thanks for your interesting (and quick!!) feed-back. I think my
colleagues just wanted to be
cautious in the wording, although we are well aware of the problems involved.
I am copying this to
the authors so that they may also exchange some ideas with you, perhaps
off-line in case the discussion
moves on to the technicalities. Many thanks for the useful remark.
Cheers,
Walter
