I am not happy with the text a that is in this section.  I think it
completely misses what I was suggesting to do in the mail message that I
sent and I am not sure that it captures what Richard suggested either.
Among other things it seems to talk about a number of algorithms but there
are no actual algorithms presented in the text.  Nor does it deal with any
of the issues about needing to filter based on attributes and algorithms in
any meaningful way.
