Hi,
the number quoted (11.3) comes from the generator level study made from
Ric months ago (if I do remember well): I remember that there were some
discrepancies (discussed in a MC session on generator parameters) btw the
values quoted in DECAY.DEC and the values found with jobs at generator
level.
I do not know how hard would be to rerun the study at generator level and
revalidate the numbers.....

I agree on that :) but, as Ric, I remember that in the past the
contribution from semileptonic systematics has never helped on B0
buisness.
