An agraffe standard which SHOULD be implemented is to cut a slot in the bottom
of the stud. That way when the agraffe breaks (I mean IF ;-) a small screw 
driver
can be inserted from the bottom and the stud removed. A simple cure for a
complex extrication.

I heard about this idea from John McDonald RPT, RI Chapter.
