Hi Jim,
since the admins check the header and also modify them before shipping
(Unofficial to Official for example) I would just "novote with comments" for
NEWLY submitted parts to make the author aware of the new specs and the tools
(Datheader). I wouldn't care about parts submitted before September 2006. It is
further my understanding that the PT is going to be re-coded to reject parts
without a proper header once the CA-library is out.
