Dear blmlists,
 
I had a suuden revelation when reading this sentence from Eric :
 
> If there is a difference, the UI *must not* be "disregarded".
 
Eric obviously means :
 
must (not be disregarded)
i.e. don't disregard it or you'll be court-martialed
 
One should note that in many languages, the word-for-word translation of 
must not be disregarded" means :
 
not (must be disregarded)
i.e. nobody will compel you to disregard it
 
Did the translating teams ensure that all verbal modalities were correctly
translated ? It might be the source of some strange interpretations I
remember.
 
Best regards
 
    Alain
