Michiel,

Etc ... here's my mother again telling me what I already know ...
 
Mv> I say stick to the FTSC standard and use only '300' after
Mv> '-Unpublished-'.
 
I will switch to the "American female mode" and conclude that what you're saying is indeed a confirmation that the information contained in the speed-field in a nodelist-entry has largely become technically irrelevant.
 
Mv> Sidenote: I would not mind if ERRFLAGS were updated with an option to
Mv> enforce it.
 
Hmmm ... why haven't I thought of that myself ...
 
Have a good day, I hope I'll have a good-one myself, a lot of stuff will happen and by day's end I'll wonder where all that time went ...
