1. The spec is unclear whether these functions are to be available in  
parallel execution mode, and if so, which functions *must* be  
available in parallel mode.

2. If parallel processing is required, I foresee problems with  
several of these functions when executed in combination -  
simultaneous diaper changing, hog butchering, bone setting and meal  
cooking, for example.
