Err, umm, I wanted Russell to rediscover it for himself. Yes, that's it.

Flow is A Good Thing. As always, the hard part is persuading a large
group of people to adopt something new, especially since it is a
replacement not an add on. I don't see any particular problem with
replacing all the prims, especially since they're in plugin(s) but
getting package owners to rewrite to use new streams and so on....
I've never been able to think of a way round that part.
