I used the ruleeditor to select message type MSG.  It then ignored 
all the rules until I removed that field.  I thought "MSG" was 
supposed to be considered a general message (in other words, all 
messages are of type "MSG" unless specified otherwise).  I realize 
that this is a can of worms, since there are lots of problems with 
naming message types -- but can someone give me the rationale behind
what we actually implemented, so that we can document it?  Thanks.
