That is my analysis: it works today, 'perfectly', but there is not enough tools 
support to make it as easy as Monticello as a whole is today.

If these tools exist, or we can build them quickly based Dale's code, that 
would be cool (I guess its all OSProcess underneath, which I find so/so, a 
direct integration is better) that would be good.

Would having this change our world fundamentally ? No, IMHO
Is it worth the effort, is the ROI there ? I don't think so

Anyway, it is a delicate subject as it also touches on the representation of 
the file format.
