Peter, et al, I responded to Kristina offline with my opinion based on the new standard (I was on the TF), and so far, no one who has offered an opinion has agreed with the standard. Naturally, I've deleted my response already, but from memory, it went like this:

Dallas Texas Parks Dept.
Leon County Public Welfare Dept.
United States Government Treasury Dept Internal Revenue Service.

Kristina said this is basically how she responded on the test and the instructor disagreed, so we both get a big fat zero!
