	Point taken; if I'm charitable to my self about that pregnant statement
	about agreeing about what quality is - well, I wanted to be provocative.
	I certainly hoped that y'all cared enough to debate it at least a little
	while Arthur ground out some code; he may even take some input.

	Who does? I hope you didn't read that idea from my posting - its not
	at all the same as specifying a "quality algorithm"...

	Why poll? There's a page that has links to all the Vlib sections,
	namely Overview.html; a walker can start there and recursively measure
	till it recognises pages that are not Vlib - e.g. no Vlib icon (?).
