I thought that should be the case, but read through the sequence 
association section multiple times looking for these words without luck. 
  I finally found them elsewhere.   Interestingly, that same paragraph 
seems to allow what Jim wants.   So, we may have an internal 
inconsistency.  From an implementation point if view, I don't see a 
problem with allowing this.

Cheers,
Bill
