It's clear that the Fletcher-Munson curves should *not* track
the instantaneous signal level (as described by DECKER).  When
we listen to live music, nothing is done to correct the 
frequency response abnormalities in the auditory system, so why
should we make an after-the-fact correction?  I suspect that if
such an instantaneous correction were applied, it would be very
disagreeable--the intruments would appear to have more and more
bass as they get quieter, quite an unnatural phenomenon.
