One has to clearly differentiate between *hard* info that needs as close to 100% accuracy as one can get, and *soft* info that is still useful even when full accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Examples of hard info are address space allocation and assignment chains. country: is an example of soft info. Removing an attribute because its information is becoming too soft should only be done when the usefulness is much less than the current country:. Daniel >
