Spell it out...zero is better than almost zero.

Respectfully, I have to disagree.
When the app publishes in about 8 weeks, I'll gladly explain why.

FYI - If anyone gets to here - revising Claims is remarkably simple.
Strikethrough your old claims text, proceed each deleted with
[DELETED]
Submit your new claims, proceed each with with [NEW]
Important: Do not re-use claim numbers.
For example, if your original app ended at claim #19, start your new
ones at #20.

Send (1) copy of original app marked up showing all your [DELETED] and
[NEW] claims, with those words preceeding the respective
modifications.
Send (1) clean copy, (not marked up) showing your new claims, keeping
the new numbering of course.

Submit with a completed Transmittal cover, and you're done.
No charge.!!

I don't know yet which version publishes, the Original or the Revised
Claims, or both?
