NO on motion 26...



	I will vote NO on this motion.

	Nate recently mentioned the following observation by
	Dominique:

> 	(I1,D1) <=_DI (I2,D2)    <==>    I2 \subseteq I1    and    D1 <=_D D2

> 		con <=_D ndf <=_D ein

	This is surely in the right direction for a correct FTDIA.
	If Nate & Jurgen are working on something along these lines,
	I'm sure I'll be able to support it.

	P.S. - Just a nit: I would reverse the sense of <=_D to
	align with the subset direction.  Its just a notational
	difference but the reversal of I2 & I1 in the above is
	subtle enough to be confusing.  Since we're defining the
	relation ourselves, there is no need for unnecessary
	confusion.
