I think this was something Kodak put in the instructions to make sure 
they sold enough XTOL. Like Mark, I always cheerfully ignored the "100ml 
rule" and it always worked fine. I was not trying to be cheap, but it 
was simply a question of using a 2-roll tank (500 ml total volume) and a 
1:3 dilution for pictorial reasons, which implied 125 ml of XTOL to be 
shared between the two rolls.
