The answer we expected to give to the improved implementation details  
hinged on the page postprocessing proposal Jim made.

My impression is that Jim felt that this didn't "fly": there was not  
enough feedback for him to proceed.  I may misunderstand.

In any case, it didn't happen.  Anyone want to take up the ball in  
the conversation again?  Personally, I wanted to just put exactly  
what Jim discussed into place and see where it led.  I was afraid  
that too much discussion of "what we ought to do" and "well if we do  
X, then we should Y" would kill it: we should just do the proposal,  
and *then* discover what we ought to do.

Bueller?
