Chris,
I'm alright with the 'u' convention. It'd be wicked cool if someone sat
down and figured out all the possible box configurations (there can't be
*that* many of them), so we could have a clearer idea of what we're
trying to describe.
Then again, maybe that was done back in 1998 and I've totally wiped it
from my mind.
