Hoi,

I took the PDG2002 lifetime averages and calculate the BF for B0 and
B+ from them. I get

  bfch := 0.10424
  bfnu := 0.11316

You  can check  that they  have the  correct ratio (1.086) and
average (0.1087). It's described below how I calculate it.

On the BRECO  Nsl sample (11582 B0 and 20583 B+),  I find an effective
  BF = 10.75 (this is a 1.1% change)

Weighting the lifetime according to the Nsl numbers, I get 
  tau = 1.5895

Weighting the lifetime according to the Nu numbers, I get 
  tau =  1.6021
 
Using these number for BF(B->Xu l nu) and |Vub| I find

BF(Brecoil ->X l nu)     tau     BF(Brecoil -> Xu lnu)   |Vub|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
10.87                    1.608   2.14                    4.52
10.75                    1.608   2.12                    4.50
10.75                    1.5895  2.12                    4.52
10.75                    1.6021  2.12                    4.50   

The  BF changes by  1%, |Vub|  correspondingly by  0.5%.  It  could be
useful if someone would check this.

Cheers,
--U.
