1. Compliance is certainly an issue for NIH, until the deposit rate is at or 
near 100% 

2. Deposit rate is nowhere near 100% for two reasons:

2a. Mixed publisher and fundee deposit instead of institutionally 
monitored fundee deposit

2b. Central deposit instead of institutionally monitored
institutional deposit.
