Speaking of consistency, we need to be consistent in how we mark LED 
polarity on the silkscreen.  If we are going to standardize on 0805 LEDs 
and an "a" at the anode, so be it.  I normally associate special marking 
at the cathode end, with a thick bar, for example.

I bring this up only because I am adding LEDs to Janus. Sasquatch will 
probably have a few as well, just because...
