Kevin -
Your last comment is not helpful at this point.  You made an
assertion, I cited the rule from the LRM, and then you say,
oh, well, the LRM is wrong.  No, the LRM defines the standard!
The committee reviewed this section last April, and you had nothing
to say then.  If you have a complete algorithm for converting
indirect assignments to contributions that works in all situations
and yields the same answers (including tolerances), you are welcome
to submit the proposal as a Mantis item.
