I too, would love to read the document when it's ready.

I always think this sort of thing is like trying to work out the odds of you 
winning a raffle.
You may have some sort of idea how many people are entering it but you're 
really just guessing.

Am I the only one who feels uneasy that some committee somewhere will shelve 
plans to tackle this on the grounds that "Ahhh! It'll probably be all right"

I read a book called "From Exodus to Arthur" (it's not brilliant, once it 
starts geting to conjecture to be honest and it reaches that point fairly 
early).
One good thing about it is the fact that ancient myths, legends and writings 
have the remote possibility of being impact events if they are origined on 
anything other than utter fable.
Even if just a one of the old legentd come from impact stories and comets, it 
raises questions over just how often Tunguska events may happen.

(the best bit of the book is the pretty thorough explanation of dendochronology 
and a paragraph that points out that all our climate change data for the last 
100,000 years comes from just 4 ice cores and there are gaps. Now there really 
is no reason for you to buy it).
