</div>Damn, I forgot to handle the source issue. I'll take care of that in a<br>
few - thanks for the reminder. Don't worry about 4.1 for now - it<br>
won't be an issue until 13.0 is out, and you can do an update then :-)<br>

</div>I guess I'm stuck on the "old" rules for commas, but I think the comma<br>
before "and" is entirely correct, actually.<br>
<br>
Consider a hypothetical restaurant menu:<br>
"Appetizer choices: soup and crackers, baked potato, french fries,<br>
onion rings, and potato chips"<br>
<br>
Now a bit different layout:<br>
"Appetizer choices: baked potato, french fries, onion rings, potato<br>
chips, and soup and crackers"<br>
<br>
Now another:<br>
"Appetizer choices: baked potato, french fries, onion rings, soup and<br>
crackers, and potato chips"<br>
<br>
and one more:<br>
"Appetizer choices: baked potato, french fries, onion rings, soup and<br>
crackers and potato chips"<br>
<br>
In the last two entries, the *only* way to be sure about what is and is<br>
not included is to place the commas as I think is correct. Otherwise,<br>
one is left wondering "Do I get soup, crackers, and potato chips?"<br>
Granted, you could change the ordering of the entries and it would be<br>
more clear, but clarity should not depend on the ordering, and IMNSHO,<br>
neither should comma rules. :-)<br>
