Nancy, your post made it to the list, and according to your
request, I'll reply via the list.
I don't believe a FAQ yet exists, although someone
may be working on one.
Although I don't work for a "chemical or environmental
company," some of my work involves chemical research
documents. (However, if the scant replies to my posting
on diethylenetriamine... a couple of days ago is any
indication, very few chemical writers/editors are reading.)
Please stay in the dialogue; we didn't mean to shun you!
