Darrel is right, I believe we can fix up the issues he presented today without 
too much fuss, however, at this point it's not clear to me this patchset 
would be accepted.  I'm happy to keep working on these patches, but I suspect 
it will get an explicit NACK from either James or Stephen; if one or both of 
you could clarify this I would appreciate it.

For better or worse I'm leaving tommorrow, August 10th, on vacation and I 
won't be back in front of a computer until the 20th.  I realized it's a bit 
of a "party-foul" to push a patch out for comments like this then disappear 
for a week, but up until today no one really had much to say about this idea 
so I wasn't quite expecting the discussion we had today ;)

That said, I'm sure you guys will keep talking about this (I hope you do 
anyway), just don't think I'm ignoring you - I'll do that when I get back ;)
