With all the immersion discussion, I have to admit that I support the use of proper clothing, but don't fully understand when you move from a wet suit to a dry suit.  The answer is probably an individual thing based on quantity of insulating body fat and so forth, but what's the rule of thumb?  At what temperature do you change, and should you still wear the wet suit under the dry suit "just in case"?
