[Moderator: Given that I generally discourage on-list metadiscussion 
 of *this* list, metadiscussion posts concerning *another* list
 have probably gone far enough here.  I'd ask that interested folks
 either use that list for discussing it, or write to Michael and/or
 Bowerbird offline.  If that list moves or gets renamed or merged into
 another one, however, an updated pointer can be posted here.  - JMO]
