Sorry for the late response...I was on vacation and even when I'm around
I don't follow the lists as closely as I used to.

I just wanted to mention that I seem to recall using IGNORE to handle
aspects of the conditional text rendering for RELNOTESng
(platform-specific details, as well as snapshot vs. release boilerplate
text).  If this is true, I'd dispute the "not widely used" comment
above.  No other comments on your proposal however.

Cheers,

Bruce.
