Thank you Sarita.
I realised later (posting at 3am is probably never a good idea) that this
behaviour was quite unacceptable anyway, because it would render volatile
references to objects next to useless. I agree that the synchronization
consistency condition prevents it.
If there is an equivalent statement in the public review document, I
couldn't find it, or didn't recognise it when I looked for it before
submitting my posting.
As an aside, I've not always been clear which parts of the document were
specifying the model, and which parts were describing inferences that could
be drawn from the model.
Sylvia.
