Would a survey would help that much? There's always something new on the horizon anyway isn't there? We're already seeing some good input. After some discussion here, if someone just took on the job and made the changes it could be presented for further discussion and modification. Just to check... we aren't talking about a complete remapping are we? The problems mentioned so far seemed solvable without going that far.
