I dont think Chris got far - he got distracted by stackless Python :-)

There was basically code presented that worked.  However, it was not
integrated with the existing win32com code, but instead was split out into
"proof-of-concept".  Some ugliness exists, but there was general agreement
(I think) that fixing that required enough work that it may never happen.
The only things remaining were agreement on the attribute names (and we can
assume silence was approval, else we wont get anywhere either :) and an
implementation!

Mark.
