Pager: Rules for Mid-range Display

[Daphne Ogle]

Hey Erin,

Sorry for the late response -- just found this in my inbox.

These rules seem fine.  I really like that you've identified the  
purpose for the midrange display.  The real test will be when we do  
user testing to see if the purpose is met.  Nice job!

One note on the page, it's not clear if the "Paging Rules (Old)" are  
still relevant or not.  If not perhaps we want to move them off this  
page.  If they are, I'd suggest the midrange rules become part of the  
overall rules.
