I agree this is a strong reason for drawing a clear distinction between NR 5
and NR6, and it gives an unambiguous criterion for deciding where to place
things.  So for now I will suspend my proposal.  But I'm still retaining the
right to renew it if I believe I should.  My own personal work style has me
using both NR5 and NR6 as an integrated pair as I work on things.
