One of the main problems with full disclosure with the client is that it
can only ever work when you've only got one client.  In my job you tend to
be working on more than one project at any given time;  I certainly don't
think I'd like to be the one to tell the client 'sorry this is late, but
there was this unexpected problem with some work we were doing for another
client and it took up all our time'.

Later.
