IMHO, not a *really* big issue ... I could see someone bothering to do it 
once or twice, but seems to be "alot of work for little gain" ...

The main problem that I see is finding a method of doing this that a 
majority of ppl can agree with ... and then convincing Core of the merits, 
a group that hasn't even voiced an opinion in this conversation yet ... :(

Without Core endorsement, this whole thing is a still birth, unfortunately 
...
