Well, that's the original question: are they actually different purposes, from the point of view of a user? I just gave a concrete suggestion, which didn't involve "combining two arguments", it involved splitting them up into three projects which all complement each other. It feels like both you and Jordan feel the need to defend the work you've put in so far, which is a shame; as a neutral party, I want to benefit from *both* of your efforts. It really doesn't matter to me how many mailing list threads that requires, as long as there aren't two teams making conflicting designs for the same feature. Regards, Rowan Tommins [IMSoP]
