That's not what I'm suggesting.  Perhaps I misunderstand--indeed I've
been known to do that from time to time =).  You seem to be arguing
that, due to the inherent complexity, the problem is insurmountable or
at least so complex that its not worth the effort to find the
solution.

I don't really think it's that hard of a problem.

*Chuckles.*  Of course.  The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men and all that.

And so we come to the point where both parties discover that there
isn't much disagreement over most of the substantive points.  That
being said, I need to ask what you think simpler solutions are.  Mind
you I ask this not in a glove-slapping, defend your honor type of way.
 On the contrary, I'd be genuinely interested in such a solution.
