Formatting is important, the above should be FLATD: Standard (that's a 
space after':', not a TAB), and to be most correct there should only be one 
TAB before criteria, min, max and cost.

Watching the various IC lists, I get the impression that modular options is 
still not ready for production and will not be until 4.9, so you used it 
(instead of plain old modifiers like size, color, etc) at you own risk, I 
think.  Someone correct me if I am wrong.
