Well, the problem is finding a balance between safety, speed and
complexity and interoperability.  it's a difficult tradeoff, and
I've got feedback in all possible directions!

It's a tradeoff, and I'd like to find a consensus position 
somewhere in the middle of the solution space.  This is why I
sometimes talk about what I _personally_ think vs. what
I _editorially_ think ...

That's fine: either am I.  I'm happy to remove this from the 
draft, as it is separate from OptiDAD really (Mobopts can argue
about it instead :-) )

(Sorry I haven't had a chance to fix the issues list page
yet, will do it ASAP now I've got the laptop working
with the WiFi ...)
