Louie, at first glance, this appears to implement the remaining changes in 1 and 2.

A possible problem is that I expect the needed 'self.' additions will conflict with the name changes on the same lines that Cheryl said she would do, about 10 hours ago.  Cheryl, if you have not yet started your patch, hold off for now, until I can properly review Louie's patch.
