"There are several reasons for different estimates. The SEC filings, for example, don't include potential
insurance or liability costs that some analysts expect will swell the ultimate costs."

Not so fast, WSJ. Capers Jones has separate estimates for liability etc. (Jones's estimate for the total U.S. y2k bill--including liability--is well over a trillion). The difference between Jones and IDC is a difference IN THEIR ESTIMATES TO FIX THE PROBLEM ONLY.
