Let me just remind you all, that there are no "rules". There are only 
recommendations. When you all come to realize that, you will find that 
it is not a question of whether someone has put a node within an area in 
the database, but a question of whether the rendering engine in question 
can figure out not to render the node if it has the same icon as an 
renderengine-placed icon for the area containing that node.

Matrix, SteveC will probably save Zion next year... ;))
