Too bad.  Some good information forthcoming.

It seems most people agree that there are many approaches and none of 
them are totally perfect.  Thus our deadlocked discussions.

When we deadlocked in this fashion where I used to work as a project 
manager we often prototyped several approaches and tried them.   We did 
this even for private sector customers.  Then we picked the best 
selection, combination or threw our hands up and promised to start over 
in the morning.

Perhaps we should do some prototyping and testing.   We may find 
different groups prefer different methods in different sections of the 
database with some flash over points that could be defined.
