Dark, would you consider also posting this to the OTessey list as well? I'd love to explore this a bit further. Also, is there a way I could read your thesis in it's entirety,or what you have so far? if you're willing to share.
I think you bring up some *very* good points and you're bringing them out in a way that makes sense,and which people can understand quite easily. Kudos to you!!!
