Doug - to your second point, there is currently an industry committee
attempting to persuade UL to change their antiquated views on immersion
silver.

I think that you will find that many are put off from immersion silver
because:
1) they don't have the background to differentiate between the modern
immersion silver and the old electroplated silver that electromigrated at
the drop of a hat.
2) both Underwriter Labs and Bellcore had long time positions of "thou
shalt not silver". Most are not willing to spend the money to pursuade
Bellcore and UL that their position is antiquated.
