The initial feedback on this was broadly positive, but viking's first
response indicated it wasn't clear enough about how strict the
requirements are, and Andre suggested an additional type. Andre also
made the sensible suggestion that we could add a corresponding
'automatic freezeexception' procedure.
As discussed and agreed at the QA meeting yesterday, I've gone ahead and
put the second draft of this change into 'production':

Thanks for the feedback folks!
