Yes, it does as of some patchlevel post 21.  Be warned that some major
UK sites (particularly UCL and UKC) distribute MMDF at update #21,
and any help they will give in the form of sample tables will reflect
that.  The changes in behaviour (in particular, the new non-defaulting
of flags=partial) have caught a few people out in the past, and no
doubt will do so again.
