>> What is the non-S equivalent to my EF-S 10-22mm?
> The equivalent would be:  16-35   (1.6x10 and 1.6x22)

Hi Cal,

My rhetorical question was directed at Stefan, who was comparing
the EF-S 17-85 with the EF 17-40L.

My point is that there only equivalent to the EF-S 10-22
on my EOS 20D would be to put an EF 16-35mm on an EOS 1D MkII.
And I think there lies the real answer to Stefan's question:
>>> So where's the cost saving for the customer?

Although I take his point that there is not a direct equivalent
for a midrange consumer zoom like the 28-105, it is unfair to
compare the 17-85 with the 17-40L.

If you are comparing focal lengths, below is what I feel is a
more equitable list. Do you agree?

EF-S 10-22  <==> EF 16-35
EF 22-55    <==> EF 35-80
EF-S 18-55  <==> EF 28-90
 (none)     <--> EF 28-105
EF-S 17-85  <==> EF 28-135 IS USM
EF 17-40L   <==> (EF 24-70L)
EF 20-35    <==> (EF 35-70)
EF 55-200   <==> EF 75-300

TS-E 24L    <==> TS-E 45
EF 24 f/2.8 <==> (EF 50 f/1.8)
EF 50 f/1.8 <==> EF 85 f/1.8
EF 100 f/2.8<==> EF 180 f/3.5
EF 200L     <==> EF 300 f/2.8 non-IS
EF 100-400IS<==> no equivalent

Cheers
