wow, I'm tripping on this new format --
it seems to enforce *selective* quoting, instead
of dumping the whole thread into the editor.

anyway,
I had said taht I found an *application*
of your alleged dilemma. if you look
at Escultura's write-up for his counter-examples,
he seems to use 0.9999... as a coefficient,
namely to get somehting like 10-adics
(as someone was saying to him .-)
