Thanks, Fae, for opening this thread - and thank you everyone for responding so eloquently and knowledgeably. This was a topic where I knew I didn't have sufficient knowledge to comment, and I have learned a lot from this discussion. It's a solid example of the best traits of the Wikimedia family - proposal for a new idea, well-informed discussion, good faith assumed on everyone's part.
