Don- I agree with you 100%. Thats why I said we need to know the load. And Yooper, Your a sharp code man but you blew it on this one. There was a time you could only reduce the neutral 2 sizes but that rule went bye bye. Now like Don says, the grounded conductor has to be large enough to carry the neutral load plus if it's a service panel, it can't be smaller than the GEC. There is allowable reductions after 200a though like you said.
