- I covered 1, 3, 3a and 4 with doing the change to force people to
finally do the work needed. Neither of them applies to RaaA.
- An SBS isn't a requirement if you ask me. I'm not even sure if I'd
like to have one, I'm very much happy with the plain list.
- 5 can be done. Sure, why not. But wouldn't you also want to draw
