Actually, I should have been more precise, Argox
would give the same He/N2 off-gassing gradient (window)
as 100% O2, eliminate O2 tox concerns, and
offer less vasoconstriction.  The only thing
it wouldn't have going for it the slightly lessened 
ability to directly oxygenate any tissues where bubble
formation was causing unnoticed circulation
blockages (if this does in fact occur).
