Ok.  Here's the old and new documentation.  Please look it over and
see that it's right (at the moment).

Old:

Tdates occur at some point during the transition from
sexskin Size 0 to Size .
Measurements larger than one cannot come before the Tdate of the
cycle.  The Tdate of a cycle must be after the dates of all the
cycle's sexskin measurements of zero that precede the earliest
non-zero measurement occurring in the cycle.</para>

...

Sexskin turgesence begins after menses.  Of all the
measurements associated with a particular cycle the earliest
measurement larger than zero must have a
Date after the Mdate of the cycle.

New:

Tdates normally occur at some point
during the transition from sexskin
Size 0 to Size 1, but can occur during
the transition from sexskin Size 0
to Size 5. Measurements larger than 5
cannot come on or before the Tdate
of the cycle. The system will generate
a warning when there is sexskin
measurement larger than 1 before t
he Tdate. The Tdate of a cycle must be
after the dates of all the cycle's
sexskin measurements of zero that
precede the earliest non-zero
measurement occurring in the cycle.

...

Sexskin turgesence normally begins
after menses. The sexskin measurement
on the Mdate cannot be larger than 1,
unless the Mdate is also a Tdate in
which case the measurement cannot be
larger than 5. The system will
generate a warning when the sexskin
measurement on the Mdate is larger
than 0.
