Michael also warns: Caution, people: this only described the changes at the time Jim Allen released ATR 2001. Since then, USSF issued a position paper on KFTPM (e.g., "reduce to equate" which we debated some months ago [on SOCREF-L]), which needs to be considered - and still more stuff may have been issued, or be in the works. So keep doing your research!
