I have just spent an hour searching the archives and have been unable to
find any discussions on this issue. I must be searching the wrong
terms. Any ideas? I would like to discuss this further, but it's a
little futile without reading the background material.
Also are use-cases that work now covered in the previous discussions,
I'd like to know what they are.
