And let's pity the poor Mail List Summarizer :)

May I suggest that someone(s) take these two discussions and write them up 
(quoting liberally, of course) and submit it to Tansel for the next issue 
of SqeakNews? Said persons would get a free subscription!

I might be able to put a *little* time toward this, but a synthasis of the 
"discussion thus far" would be really valuable for those of us who, for 
whatever reasons, are having a wee bit of trouble keeping up :)
