Hi Morganna,
I know but it should and that's the reason to try.
Indeed. So much of the current legislature has been riddled with monogomous memes for so long that it might seem an insurmountable problem but I'm confident that it wouldn't be beyond the ken of humankind; we've managed to create legislation for other marvellously complicated situations, why not for this one?
That was me, I think... if not, it's certainly along the lines of the ideas that I've suggested and the originator gets my kudos.
