I was thinking very brief, to cover the people who'd managed to miss
all of that, not much more than the text above on a slide, but true,

Yes, the high-level in my text was intended to apply to everything in

I think a few people already have such documents floating around Sun,
we could probably borrow one of those, and expand it, if necessary
(and move it outside, if it isn't, obviously)
