<p>Thanks Jubal, this looks like fantastic no-nonsense work. Seems like it might be wise to wait until after the Milan conference to see if a recommended workflow will emerge to begin putting these footprints to use.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Any plans to publish data for other countries? How about quarterly diffs? <o:p>
