   314 \nn{need to replace ``cell decomposition" below with something looser.  not sure what to call it.
       
   315 maybe ``nice stratification"??  the link of each piece of each stratum should be a cell decomposition of
       
   316 a sphere, but that's probably all we need.  or maybe refineable to a cell decomp?}
