Richard,
I agree completely with your 'Actual vs Possible' message and urge others to utilize the Improve list (as Dar does frequently and with great insight) for the discussion of 'improvements', if possible.
The key phrase is "if possible" - some of us don't qualify for that list :-)
I think it's in the best interest for us developers for RR to sell as many copies of the Revolution software development environment. And to that end, it is important as listmembers to distinguish between what works and what keeps people from being able to develop and publish an application at all. Frankly, I've yet to find any showstoppers;-) There are some weird work arounds, but they are nothing compared to the hoops one has to jump through to, say, ...embed Safari into an external using Apple's not well documented and *very* buggy WebKit!
Indeed - the list can sometimes give the false impression that everything is broken, and it was a good reminder from Richard. But it is (imho) a great factor in favour of Rev that there is an accessible, open forum like this to discuss suggestions. It's not quite Open Source - but there is a strong impression that ideas raised here have a reasonable chance - if they work out, which not all will - of making it onto the "seriously considered" list in the future. That's pretty different from a lot of other language and development environments.
