Thank you for chiming in on this.  Always good to have feedback from the 
mother ship.

I recognize that RunRev believes the current implementation is complete, 
but it appears they did not implement or perhaps misunderstood the spec 
that they'd worked on which would have also provided backward 
compatibility as well.

ID 28 is used by the splitter.  We could change that too, and the arrow 
cursor and its affected compliment along with them and other IDs in use 
for a decade before Rev was born, but before we slide down that slippery 
slope I'd prefer to ask that the team review the spec and decide if 
they're fully satisfied with the current implementation.

Remember that the first "solution" was to yank the hand cursor 
altogether, until sufficient discussion warranted a re-think.  I'm 
hoping things can remain as open-minded.

I believe implemeting engine changes in ways that don't break the MC IDE 
is a relevant consideration.  Given the implications for other legacy 
works it may be best for all to use the spec they'd defined for this.
