is it an 'integrity' issue? to prevent me from making, say, something
that looks like a file (*FILE) which would crash the system if not having
the correct internal format? But since we are limited to subtype 'EF'
there is no danger of that. Subtype 'EF' is designated 'temporary space'
but why not include 'EE' as allowed (permanent miscellaneous space).
I looking for a 'valid' rationale that I can accept (maybe a tough one :-).
