Ok, then I just misunderstood your earlier email on this topic. This might 
very well work. Jamboarder's suggestion of making it one number might be 
sufficient as well. I think I start with your 2 number suggestion, since that 
shows more information. When it turns out this is mainly confusing, while not 
adding much, it's easy enough to switch to Jamboarders 1 number suggestion. 
Real world usage will probably tell.
