I thought you'd come back and say you really did understand the proposal, but made a poor choice of words. Now you've merely pointed out that jshinal@sfchronicle.com either doesn't understand accounting or doesn't understand the FASB proposal. I learned in high school that it's better to use a primary source than a secondary one, like a newspaper article. Here's a link to FAS 123 which I've posted here before, perhaps more than once, fasb.org and which says, "Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period." But I certainly don't expect that to convince you, because FUD is your name and your game.
