Dear Mike,

Yes, AC is elementary. Of course, so is ASC by the same token. Quantifying over all epis is not a problem. Thanks for questioning me on that point. I remembered incorrectly what the problem was. Bob Pare and I wanted to posit something like the existence of a "representative (or universal) cover" as an axiom (RC), such that GT => RC => ASC, and also (ET + AC) => RC. We hoped to show that RC had good properties, and more importantly, that Eff satisfied it but this did not work. What is still open is  whether Eff satisfies ASC. 
All the best, 
Marta
