You are correct, sir. I was aware of that, and Steve Bliss has already said
he will fix those of his that are in error, as well as an original piece by
James.
At the time he said this, I already had the update all ready to go, and so
decided to go ahead and release it as-is and worry about fixing the alignment
problems in an update.
You are right in suggesting we need a standard. Future baseplates should be
required to correctly align with existing plates. This is something we need to
pay more attention to.
Steve and I have also been trying to standardize the names of the baseplates,
so hopefully we can also fix any alignment problems at the same time.
