    10. Issues in Use of Options Inability to use standard numbers Inability for others to understand optional numbers Implementation rules needed for Options A and D, and for displaced notation in Option B

    11. Discussion Are attendees using options in religion? Should we replace Option A with the modified version? Should we consider a new optional development that redistributes the 220-290 notation in a chronological/regional approach? Are there other approaches (e.g., browsers, deeper expansions)?
