No reason, IMHO.  False positives are not your problem, it's an
error on the side of the receiver.

That's an interesting idea.  Changing records is probably
simple, a reference to sequence X is only allowed if X exists.

But additions and deletions can be difficult, because you need
transactions for several records at once (e.g. cross-referenced
pre-numbered sequences).

How do you define "element" ?  I tried "concatenation of %S,
%T, and %U" for A19439, but that resulted in 212 characters.

Hm... :-(  I'm still unhappy with too long %N lines.

Oops, thanks for info.  My default line length limit is 2048,
because the DOS-version of my editor is restricted.  But maybe
I should change this to 4000 (the hard DOS-limit is 4095).
