I based my status change on Derek's code example, and I am *sure* (and I 
think that it should be obvious to anyone) that Derek's example *is* a 
duplicate of bug #48. If Derek's example wasn't what you meant for issue 
#206, then you should clarify. In fact you should have done that in the 
first place.

And no, "visibility" is not the same as "accessibility". In Bug #48 one 
works around "accessibility" (and thus also "visibility") using 
FQ-names. Derek's example does the same, (and he himself explicits that 
it is about accessibility).

Kuehne originally understood your bug in a different way, he thought 
that you were complaining that protection attributes do not affect 
visibility but just accessibility, so he commented that the spec indeed 
states that protection attributes only affect visibility.
