Ack.  Missed that.  I'll remember it now.  ;-)  Thanks.

I ignored the fact that the '(' was not on the same line as the start
of the SOA statement in the second example, and the fact that the SOA
statement in the first example was incomplete, because that seemed
outside the scope of the question.  But specifying that may save a
return visit by the requestor.  ;-)
