After all the time and effort that we've put into this spec, it seems a little overboard to just drop it as a lost cause. Especially when I think a *lot* of the ground work to get first-class support for Xesam 1.0 has already been done (correct me if I'm wrong). Why not get the 1.0 implementations out there, and then work towards getting 2.0 along in a way that converges towards the goals Philip listed, in a shorter timeframe than 1.0 took? Especially since there seems to be some agreement on these already. If that process seems to be cumbersome, let's _fix_ it, rather than give up on the effort to standardise the desktop search interface altogether.
