Some good votes there, though I've quibbled one. Anyway, Q for you (and others): we now have an alternative "basis for the dispute" statement (1.1) which is pretty well what I said at the start: that the disputes here merely reflect the outside world. Disappointingly, though, no-one seems to have realised that signing up to that implies a change of attitude to the rest of the case; 1 and 1.1 aren't just hot-swappable leaving everything else intact
