David,

I can't figure out why you and Austin have such a mental block about
ranges and ratios.  In all the situations we're talking about, they are
just plain one and the same.  Dynamic Range is a ratio AND its a range --
that's why they call it a range!  Similarly, Dmax - Dmin is a ratio and
its also a range -- looks like a density range (a range as well and its
a ratio).  They are ALL the same kind of animal.

Todd is reading and interpreting the ISO standard and that audio paper
entirely correctly.  Listen to him.
