Hi Andrea (et al :-)
Well, maybe we should ask ourselves if we should ditch the rule! I mean, why is it that substrings are not allowed? Is it because of impleemntation issues (eg, recovering data based on UCDs)? I personally see little use for that rule (perhaps it was written without looking at the existing UCDs)?
I see Alberto's point to go for the simplest solution, but I'd go one step further :-) :-)
Cheers,
Patricio
