For the moment, I'm focused on a more near term objective: is this something good enough for now. So, if you agree with Maciej that this is good enough for the long term clearly you are OK with it for now. If you aren't sure, but feel that it addresses the immediate objection; that;s fine too for my purposes. If you feel otherwise, please speak up. I'd like to give people until Sunday night to do so, otherwise I will assume that this is the basis for the draft that we are going with. > Regards, > Maciej - Sam Ruby
