I've received a marked up version from our webmaster for our
consideration. I'm figuring out the best way to post it, since it
relies heavily on some color coding that won't pass muster with a text

it on as soon as I can. I have an urgent work responsibility coming up
very shortly, so it will probably be early afternoon.
