1. Having had many +1's (and many more -1's <smile/>) thrown my way, my
guess is Bob was voting for a new element.
2. "Detect all installed language packages". I'm certain if we don't do

3. Agreed. This seems to go along with Bob's suggestion to have a "first,
all, highest" enum to control the return.
Honestly, these discussions are usually easier if we're discussing real
examples. Can you throw out some XML examples of what you're thinking that
might address all the feedback and we can tweak from there?
