Hell yah. I'm going to follow up to this thread in a sec, but just wanted to
chime in with a high-level comment here. Justin's recent changes have
*improved* the input filter stack. The problems that we're seeing at higher
levels are because those higher levels made assumptions. At the moment, the
various filters are all coupled together, when they should be completely
independent.

The output filters seem to be quite fine. The input filters have problems,
but Justin just made a big step in fixing them. There are a couple more
steps to do.

The problem is that people are screaming about the first step and saying
"back up" rather than seeing the target and saying "take the next two steps"
