I agree, and furthermore, Stephen, what you are describing as feature 
creep is really new uses and no new features.  This having been said, I 
do wonder if places like Kantara would be better for such work, as they 
may harbor more expertise.

I also wonder if a second look at online approaches should be 
considered.  Don't laugh too loudly, but this might be an interesting 
application of ohttp ;-)
