This description makes a headline sound like a member of the URC
class. Is this the case? If so, could you expand on how exactly
they differ?

Sounds like comparison should be possible in a variety of ways. Don't
insist on something that's more restrictive than you need.

PS Due to some mailer-machinations somewhere, a message I sent
yesterday to the list in response to Ron Daniel's comments on my "A
Note on URC Querying" was badly mangled if the copy that I received
was anything to go by. If anyone is interested and missed it as a
result, please contact me and I will send it directly to you in the
interests of bandwidth conservation.
