You guys seem to have a grip on it. The B (and probably other)
"old census codes" no longer consistently reflect the data
source from which they were derived, because there's been
some of this intermediate cleanup done. I don't know that
it matters so long as you carry through on the cleanup.
It does make the descriptions in the documentation a bit
confusing (along with comparison with the old SPSS data,
or whatever it was) but nobody probably cares.
