For all of the state and local governments that have incorporated LEED in some capacity into legislation, I think, right now, it would be difficult for a non-FSC manufacturer to demonstrate proof of market effect under the test set forth in <em>Allied Tube</em>. It's an interesting analogy, though, that could become more serious as legislative activity continues and USGBC's review of MR-7 proceeds. Thanks, Tim.

It will get a lot more interesting as localities step into the pothole of requiring LEED specifically as opposed to parallel equivalent systems. On a grander note, I hope the USGBC can overcome the underlying threshold question which is the FSC process ... I hear it can be quite cost-prohibitive for smaller players.
