Agreed. I plan to have a way to see the complete recipe, and you may want to implement that in the web ui too. Do you think that the difference in the insert-* methods are warranted? Just having insert-after means you can't do one thing (modify a nested branch that is currently unmodified in the parent), so I put it there for completeness. > >> * Why not "remove"? > > > > If you aint gonna need it... > > > > OK, you've convinced me.

I just spoke to Michael and he is happy that the current mockups work well with the proposals, so that's one step closer. Do we want input from the design team/Mark on the mockups/changes at some stage?
