Hi David,

> I wasn't yet subscribed, so sorry if I'm rehashing an old point that

This is indeed a point over which we have had a long discussion.

The bottom line of it was: The "raw" data that comes out of Rivet should 
exactly correspond to the published measurement. So if the measurement 
takes the cross section into account, Rivet should as well. If the 
measurement normalises, Rivet should as well.

I was initially in favour of your suggestion, but I have been convinced 
that for the sake of consistency between Rivet releases, we shouldn't 
introduce such a change for this one release, since in the next release we 
are going to have YODA anyway and then we'll write out both: raw weights 
(/moments) and the normalisation corresponding to the measurement.

Frank
