DS together with MN is a useful property. However, if historically there is nothing against it, I would like to change the assigned numbers, so that boolean expressions are easier to handle and possible future amendements (like 3...'modulo 50') can be added more readily: 0 ... don't number moves 1 ... use move numbers 2 ... use 'modulo 100' numbers as known from books/mags DS has some kind of very special property attribute. It resembles 'inherit'. Is there a reasonable possibility to use an attribute instead of an awkward description like the above referring to FG? Then our standard would be more elegant. Is DG redundant now that we have DS? (I do not exactly know what DG was.) --robert jasiek
