Bhasker and all,

Since I brought this up, I personally think the best is to adapt
choice C. This will accomplish our intended task of ignoring the directives,
and in essence ignoring the whole context of what the directives describe.
This also accomplish the ease of use/adaptation for any existing models.
Users will not have to change anything and the intended task would have
been done at the same time. Thanks.
