Hi
You beat me to it!
I haven't read the whole thread.

I came across this irritating anomaly last week & thought it would be 
good to update.

That there are entities with both variations indicates a problem within 
the database & is not a valid reason to not amend.

All the editors need to be checked to see if they're adding FIXME as 
default.
