I am conscious that the bad decisions on re-use of Starlink document numbers happened on my watch - profound apologies! I recall entertaining private doubts at the time but was *somehow* persuaded that it was best. There were definitely arguments in favour, but I now can't imagine what they were. I think the main difference between then and now was that the issue was entirely local to the Project and the possibility of the documents being part of a globally accessible filing system was not considered.
