Hamish,

I first heard about this effort at OSDEM in February and it sounded promising
then.  If the design and implementation are easy to integrate I'd love to 
include it in Midgard 2.0.  If it turns out to be a lot of effort, of course,
we'll have to look at it closely and weigh the benefits, but the idea sounds
solid.

I don't have a lot of time to look at your proposals closely right now (although
some other Midgard developers may), but I'll make sure we consider them before 
building our own templates for Midgard 2.0.

Regards,
Ami.
