I agree pretty completely with Dan's line of argument and his conclusion.  I 
don't agree with his technique of arguing on the basis of The Great Web 
Architecture In The Sky, since there are obvious disagreements about what's 
in TGWAITS.  But you don't have to believe in Dan's version of TGWAITS to
agree that his example illustrates obvious breakage in terms of common
engineering sense.

Damn, this discussion has gone on a long time.  Does anyone see any symptom
of minds meeting? -Tim
