Well...ok...I suppose...but, first, shouldn't we consider whether or 
not those would be (nominally) 0.5mm, 0.7mm or 0.9mm leads?  I mean, 
we really wouldn't want a new standard to get off on the wrong foot 
because of misunderstood conventions...would we?  After all, 57 
pleads at 0.5mm is a bit different than 57 pleads at 0.9mm.

Cheers.
