To add to Herbert's comments, you can view the record of the elision discussions at the thread starting at: http://www.iucr.org/__data/iucr/lists/ddlm-group/msg00234.html and an earlier discussion around: http://www.iucr.org/__data/iucr/lists/ddlm-group/msg00106.html The latter message includes quite a few previous emails from that thread so may be a useful place to start.
