Hello Chris,

i doubt it's optionnal in the current form altho untested.
It does make sense to make it optionnal, please do if you have the time.

I'm currently out of town (i'm at DVCon08 in San Francisco, CA until
saturday) but will take care of it ASAP if you haven't taken care of
it.

Cheers,

-Pascal
