As someone who has messed with using the Authoring Kit to implement systems, I empathize with Rob's position. There are a lot of interconnected parts, and it's difficult to mark some of them to apply to an offline sheet without giving away the whole farm. That said, hopefully they can find a way of doing a very generic "if this condition is checked, subtract this value from this other field" even if it means those simple adjustments won't check for contingencies.
Although, on the flip-side, such simple cases, to me, tend to be so simple that it's easier to just do the math myself than to wonder if the system is doing it right.
