Thanks Karsten, that's what I needed.  I think I'm already on the Docs
list, but I'll do the introduction and post some of the most succulent
ideas from this thread (at least, as I see them) there.  And I agree
with moving this to the docs list, and if we need devel input, then we
can always cross-post when needed, rather than saturate devel with
tangential issues.
