David, Thanks for the cogent remarks -- what I was hoping, though, was that folks would take the rough first pass I had made, and actually edit it to reflect their suggested improvements, and then re-post it to the list -- any chance you'd be willing to take a crack at it? After several passes, we might end up with a very useful short document! We are all busy, I know, but I was hoping we could spread the labor among a number of us...
