	Baker,

	I think we can, in the ER group, propose a method of
	implementing intervals such that a correct version
	of ordinary intervals can be had without preventing
	some future (or optional) implementations from
	using some form of non-standard intervals.

	I can detail what I have in mind if you like but I
	have not yet had a chance to discuss it with the ER
	group & I'd like to hear their opinions first.

	I guess this is a long winded way of saying this is
	not necessary at this time if you want to create an
	ordinary interval standard while still protecting
	the possibility of future modal intervals.

	OK?
