OK, I've waded through all those conversations, but I'm still left with 
a question. It was clear that you thought this solution was ugly and 
were looking for a better solution, but I wasn't left with a clear 
understanding of whether you thought it would work. I didn't see any 
comments indicating that you thought it wouldn't, but I'd hate to argue 
from silence.

So: does it work?
