I don't know about that. I think that with the amount of willingness shown =
on the thread we're close to the 'crystalization point' -- I think the bigg=
est thingss holding is back is a solid well thought plan.

I am somewhat against using an extant (and presumably general purpose) syst=
em, precisely because the real power/utility will come from properties a ge=
neralized system is ill-suited for. (Consider how diff is hampered in progr=
ammongs by being about text and not semantic diferences.)
