The suggestion was made to me privately that this matter be raised via the
Legals list to get an official opinion or ruling, & if it is agreed that it
is a requirement, hopefully also an agreed wording for a "warning".

I agree that that is probably the best option, but also consider that it
could be left until after the proposal is accepted or not, &, once again,
it would be done as part of a clean-up of the military pages.

Thanks
