It's best to go with the old "When in doubt, don't" Stuart.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Based on your comments, a couple
of the 
things I was worried about don't seem to be a problem, but I
couldn't 
get the agency to budge on any of the remaining points, so I
ended up 
not signing with them.

In fact a couple of items just seemed to me to be plainly wrong.
They 
weren't even things that were necessarily bad for me--just
duplication 
or contradictions between one part of the contract and the other.
I 
couldn't even get them to clarify or fix any of these.

So if you do contract TW work and you come across one of these
ITEAs, I 
suggest you check it even more carefully than you would a
standard 
contract (you *do* read your contracts carefully, don't you?).
It's not 
that they're necessarily bad for you, it's that:
- I don't think they're really designed for our situation
- they're very new and the bugs may not be ironed out yet
