This _still_ sits above the first --- separator, despite you having been asked 
more
than once to move it down.

As to question 2, I'll see what I can do (I'm specifically not very happy that 
this
comment which you added in more than one place isn't really "brief"). And before
the patch can be committed, it'll need George's ack anyway.
