Richard,
  I would not hesitate to agree that EM is less than average in the
way/s it does things (after looking at the code I wonder that it runs at
all sometimes, other times I like what I see).
  However, more than just my site is 'stuck' with it, and so we would
like to be able to exist with others (like RM users, for instance).
  Looking at a EM note and a CMS note it looks like EM is sort of a
cross between 822 and NOTE, with some decidedly EM only stuff thrown in.
I would be happy to lend some examples of how EM makes notes so that the
next release, or next release + ?, will be able to cope with EM notes
just like other notes.  But hurry, downsizing is suppose to hit here in
just about 10 months.
