Yes sometimes it requires another roll of a patch but this is _not_ a hindrance, much rather a benefit to Drupal. Agreed. Those were both IF statements - but I failed to add the ELSE.
ELSE The rules seem reasonable (besides NOTE and TODO perhaps) and the idea is a good one. andre p.s. re: spelling - If the word is English as long as its spelled correctly or 'correctly' the American way it should be acceptable. I believe that most international English students learn 'labour' not 'labor'. But both would be fine in a comment.
