Thanks for the pointer; that's a compelling peice.

Your mention of the Maryland legislative effort inspired me to create

  http://www.w3.org/egov/wiki/Open_Government_Laws

Anyone who has links to those Maryland bills, or other such bills,
please add them.  I've started the page with the New York state one
we'll be talking about next week, and the US Federal HR 4858.
