Item 1

 
Article resolve the conflict by providing that a security
interest that remains perfected solely by virtue of Section 9-
316(e) [Maine cite section 9-1316, subsection (5)] can be
(re)perfected by the secured party's taking possession of the
collateral. These sections contemplate only that taking
possession of goods covered by a certificate of title will work
