OK, I'll admit to being QUITE confused by some of these data points (all are document-based), let me throw these out for consideration. I'll be posting some of the more interesting documents over time.

Otherwise being updated on a rolling basis as new things surface, until Bob updates the master list.)

Absolutely, fine detail work and much superior to the rubbish being issued by most countries today (India included).
