Why don't you talk to the Treasury and see if you can stop printing currency as 
well.  You will create a chaotic market with all the new short positions that only 
the savy will be able to get away with.  A bad rule. A bad idea.  And who will be 
the storehouse of data?  Who will be liable for that?  This has to be the least 
thought out proposal I have ever heard from the SEC.  What's going on?  This 
proposed rule now makes the SEC itself suspect of corruption.
