As a probably weird aside, I just wanted to jump in and high-five
Jonathan for calling it an ACR (I thought I was the only pedant around
that insisted that "VPAT is the *template* ... what comes out of it at
the other end is the ACR" - a la "Frankenstein was the doctor, not the
monster". Then again even ITI end up calling the end result a VPAT, so
perhaps it's a losing battle either way...)
