That would be awkward, for an attribute table (lots of links). In general i think we have tried to consolidate discussion of a given attribute so I planned to link to that discussion.

I think the first error he reported was an error in his implementation, which seemed not to like redefinitions. The second one is genuine, but refers to the NVDL and we are talking with a couple of NVDL experts to fix this.
