[kepler-dev] Can "stop" interrupt "initialize()"

[Kevin Ruland]

Shawn,

I was not clear -- I was referring to the semantic type checking and the 
'manual override' would only be for those users who have some deeper 
understanding of the data and don't want to go through the effort of 
annotating them correctly.  In retrospect, I should not have spoken 
because I don't know what the desired functionality of this portion of 
the system is.
