Note that this is Ektachrome IR, color slide, not HIE b&w negative 
film. This EIR has always been daylight loadable, so in this respect 
nothing changes.
Btw, considering EIR has the same spectral sensitivity as HIE, this 
is also an argument against the IR-leaking felt trap. IF EIR doesn't 
suffer from it, then why HIE? 
That leaves us with less and less arguments for the daylight fogging 
of HIE....even the fiber optic theory seems hard to defend, since HIE 
also fogs after exposure, with the film leader in the cartridge 
entirely....
