Chris,

A certain amount of non-D material in Deuteronomy is uncontroversial, I 
think, but how about the other way around? As far as I can see, Friedman does 
not have any D material e.g. in Exodus.

Since posting the question on monday I've realized that already Noth ascribed 
a certain amount of deuteronomistic redaction to the finished Tetrateuch 
("Überlieferungsgeschichte der Pentateuch"), and B Peckham in "The 
Composition of the Deuteronomistic History" goes further, but I can't for the 
life of me see what W. Johnstone's reasons are (in his "Old Testament Guides" 
volume on Exodus) for assuming that the revelation of the divine name in Ex 3 
should be considered D.

Anyway, thanks for the input, this at least leaves me confused on a much 
higher level than before :-)
