I believe it also says that D.C. cannot, itself, be a state. IIRC the workaround being discussed would be to reduce what is actually D.C. to a much smaller area and then create a state out of what is left. Of course, this would open up the solution of making the remainder part of Maryland as well.
Hollo, I saw your post and I'll get to it tomorrow.
