I might -- although I should get Neil, Eric and Tim as co-authors.

I'm halfway implementing the scheme that Eric showed yesterday.  It's
very elegant, but I don't have an idea about its impact performance

Say hi to Jon -- we've met a few times.  I liked his March editorial,
having just read the same book and had the same feeling of "wow, an
open source project in the 19th century!"
