You are just about right there, Truman.  I introduced this idea many years 
ago when I was on the AERC board, because of an urgent request from some who 
felt a great stigma having L or M on the horse's record.  It was considered 
that if the rider (RO) made the choice rather than the vet, it was a credit 
to the rider, rather than a stigma.  I'm not sure it's a useless idea, if 
riders come to understand just what each code means and how to interpret it. 
But it does seem to be causing some confusion.  And maybe the confusion 
isn't very important, either.
