+1 and a thumbs up as well.

While Martin has probably put more deep thought into this than most,
even he may not have considered all the possible use cases, so such
questions could also help him as well as the rest of us. I suspect one
of the reasons this seems so difficult is that we as yet don't really
understand the problem. Specific questions from various
viewpoints/requirements may help address this.
