Assuming they would understand my question...

Frankly speaking, I'm rather astonished at your and Eric's answers.
I treated my question as a formality, and expected answers like "Of
course you can do it, don't be silly."  I guess I should have published
it without asking...  That's probably what I'm going to do in the future
in similar cases.
