  A preliminary study of a set of well-isolated pulses in GRB light curves
indicates that simple pulse models, with smooth and monotonic pulse rise and
decay regions, are inadequate. Examining the residuals of fits of pulses to
such models suggests the following patterns of departure from the smooth pulse
model of Norris et al. (2005): A Precursor Shelf occurs prior to or concurrent
with the exponential Rapid Rise. The pulse reaches maximum intensity at the
Peak Plateau, then undergoes a Rapid Decay. The decay changes into an Extended
Tail. Pulses are almost universally characterized by hard-to-soft evolution,
arguing that the new pulse features reflect a single physical phenomenon,
rather than artifacts of pulse overlap.
