Good questions.  I can HONESTLY say that I don't know the answers to any
of them, except I'm almost certain the answer to #1 is "Closed Circuit".
I'm also pretty sure the answer to #5 is "Yes", but I'm not certain.  
I've forwarded them on to someone who might be able to provide more
definitive and detailed answers.  Meanwhile, I have to catch a plane in a
few hours, and my rebreather isn't even packed yet, and Lisa and I are
going to take Cara to see "A Bug's Life" before she drops me off at the
airport, so I'll have to suspend my participation in the festivities until
Sunday, when I get back.

Take care,

Aloha,
Rich
