Hi Peter, Thanks for that. As Jean mentioned earlier in this thread, there might still be things discovered that we need to tweak, but I seriously doubt such tweaks will have a major impact on the overall structure of the finally agreed template.
If you find or experience any glitches would you be kind enough to note them in a separate post to the list as you encounter them. Then we all have the opportunity to investigate and fix where necessary.
