Good.  Thanks for the clarifications.  I am happy to proceed on the basis that 
I 
had misinterpreted those T&C words which had struck me so as a consciously and 
firmly closed door, so blocking of the spirit of openness and readiness for 
change (though respect for legacies...) you correctly expect of this group.    (02)

Best wishes,

I doubt neither you nor I have misunderstood anything. I find
a discussion on whether the terms are "dictatorial" or not, and
"unnecessary" or not entirely out of scope of a discussion that
should be or need to be had here.    (05)

The debate should be altogether technical.    (06)

The question is not "if is UCUM is to be a kind of ingredient in
the brew ahead", but in which *additional* brew ahead.    (07)

And I am sure the majority of brewers brewing this brew here like
to focus on content.    (08)

There should be debates on content. Then, if that debate on content
brings forth a motivation, there will be an agreement on the
legalese. But there will not be a debate on UCUM's legalese here.    (09)

regards,
-Gunther    (010)
