This paper is based on material drawn from chapter 2 of my PhD dissertation, completed at Dalhousie University. I would like to thank Peter Burton, Melvin Cross, and Kuan Xu for their feedback on the (many) earlier drafts. I would also like to thank Gerard Gaudet for his comments. The excellent comments received from two anonymous referees significantly improved the paper. Email: jmstevens@upei.ca
