I think in this case the word "proper" means "the way that seems intuitive to me". This is not bad, but other people have made different technical decisions. Adding the word "proper" tries to make these into quality judgments into opinions, but that's still what they are.

I hope you find a system that works as you prefer.

Yes I agree. I meant and hoped that the (explanation in parens) would be interpreted as my opinion on what was proper. Believed the construct "proper ... (that is ...)" was clear, guess not. Oh, and thanks for not answering any of my questions and ranting off topic.

[an aside; I don't believe in "proper", there is no proper there is only "proper for me", never "proper for you." One should reject others' attempts to inflict "what is proper" on them. Good job btw. My use was to alter people's thinking or simply make them think, even subconsciously. Language is a virus.]
