By necessary changes, I assume you mean the required changes to the FM6.0 
EDD, and in particular changing the value in the Version element. As I 
recall, the action you describe above was the way it worked in FM+SGML 5.5, 
but taking that same action in FM+SGML 6 did not produce that outcome. Are 
you saying that this has been fixed in FM7? But even if FM7 works as you 
describe, the problem is that the FM+SGML6 EDD uses your version of the 
Meta EDD for FM+SGML6, thus the auto-update performed by FM7 would corrupt 
my EDD, wouldn't it? And if that is the case, have you released your 
version of the Meta EDD for FM7?

Since I used your FM+SGML6 Meta EDD to create the FM+SGML6 EDD under 
discussion, I must import element definitions from an empty template 
created from the FM7 version of your Meta EDD, isn't that correct? And if 
that is the case, have you released your Meta EDD for FM7?
