It also does not require that the choice be concealed.  That is an 
implementor's decision, and MM up til now has been making an unfortunate 
(but patchable) choice.  I'm happy to hear from Barry that 2.1gold will 
give site administrators control over aspect of their list's operation (and 
in so doing still be "2369 conformant").
