This is a great rule to apply. But to really have it make sense to 
individual investors, and to give the fund companies a fair shake, 
mandate that they show the after tax return for the various tax rates.
     
This shouldn't be a big problem for the giants of the industry (ie. 
Fidelity). Give this class of Family unti l2/31/00. Then maybe the 
intermediate type family (Strong) could have until 6/30/01. Finally, 
small fund families (Artisan) couls have until 12/31/01.
