Andrew,

I think we've moved past that original concept, but need to get the
works list stuff finished and implemented before we can actually make
use of it.  I would note that the real problem in that series of edits
wasn't the use of CSGStandard, but rather the practice of questioning
an editor and suggesting corrections to the edits being made, without
actually checking to see if the suggested changes for the edits made
sense, were factually correct, or following the linked document back
to the source (CSGStandard/Mozart, in this case) to even look at the
reference url provided by the editor.
