If I can clearly see what we're aiming toward, it will give me a context for reading these messages, and help focus the discussion. For example: makes exactly it not acceptable today? what are the desirable features of an "ideal implementation"? what are the variables we're trying to hammer down? etc. Then I think we can meaningfully tackle this issue by breaking it into the smaller pieces that make it up. -- John Wiegley GPG fingerprint = 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2
