How many of the Special Edition songs actually lied about the era they were from, I don't remember it being as many as you think.
EDIT: That and I don't think it matters one bit if he wrote the basslines or not, if he's not credited as a song writer he's not getting that share of the royalties.

All true points that just add to the complication of such a project.
As far as royalties go, we really don't know what Alec would get but being that he is no longer in the band, I think it would eat Jon up knowing that he would still make money on such a project even if the amounts were low.
With the decline of album sales as a whole, it's highly unlikely that we'll get any such type of release, including a 2nd Box Set especially without a promotion and mini-tour.
