In fact, FTIII and BDS will probbaly be worked on very much in parallel
after the FT-FB is done, and which one gets published first may well
simply
come down to which one is finished first. BDS is likely to be the first
because of the demand for an SG/DS supplement, but of course we may
change
our minds again! :)
