Hi Jenni,

I want to absorb what you said and think a bit before I respond to the 
technical content, but I also want to respond to this. I had not intended 
to come across as adversarial, and I apologize if my tone struck you that 
way. I was basically tossing off the first set of questions that occurred 
to me - I haven't spent enough time examining this design to have an 
opinion one way or another, I just thought these were questions that would 
be important in exploring it.

I also had no idea one way or another about your motivations, and had not 
drawn any conclusions, but it's interesting to hear your fuller 
description. Exploring design spaces is a good thing, not a bad thing.

Jonathan
