25. We note that eq 4 is not appropriate in situations (e.g. convex layers) where "dead zones" are present.

27. A proper treatment would consist in determining the interfacial shape self-consistently.
28. We have recovered results of refs 13 and 14 for diblock copolymer system, using these shapes for the minority component domains in the G and the OBDD structures.
