There were two issues to that Issue. The 2nd (technical) one was fixd ages
ago.

As for the other:

That is still the original text, so my issue still remains (I wanted to
allow more flexibility to omit multiple Path entries inserted within one
site where the extra entries did not provide any benefit to subsequent
sites - the earlier USEPOR drafts had allowed that to happen).

But, at this late stage, I am not pressing the issue further, unless
someone else wants to pick it up and run with it.
