You sure about lithium, Sam? I thought most of it came from
spallation with only a negligible amount produced in the BB. The
"mass 5 barrier" is hard to overcome.


No, I am not, Steve. The WMAP data indicates the the Lithium at
the time of decoupling Li is less that 1 part in 10^9 compared
to H. When I made the post I was mistakenly thinking 1 part in
10^6 as apposed to about 1 part in 10^10.

Thank you Steve, I stand corrected.
