small quantity shipment

[Lester.Slaback@nist.gov]

As Mr. Pratt points out, using 173.4 as a basis for shipment has minus's
as well as plus's.
 + all of the shipping requirents are on that one page.
 + very comprehensive exclusion of the rest of the rules.
 - a new set of packaging requirements (materials, closure, etc)
 - a new set of testing requirements (different from IP and Type A)
 - a weight limit (different from others used in the rules)
 - an added package marking requirement

In summary, it might be a useful option but beware of the different
requirements.
