You and Paul seem to be missing the point; while one _can_ do this, it's 
not obvious that one can nor is it obvious what the allowable values are.

It _should_ be, it _could_ be easier. It is something that should be set 
on every installation, values that suit Aussies won't suit Canucks. 
There is not a good default.
