OK - I've endorsed one of Naill's ideas in the form of the above 
suggestion.

a) I think it's simple to implement.
b) if it doesn't work it's simple to retract.
c) We've had the normal back and forth about it - with the usual number 
of tangents and side tracts and I don't see a strong argument against at 
least trying it out.

So let's try this out.

The only thing is I don't have any idea who has the authority to 
implement this.  The Review Wizard could just start implementing it on 
his own - though I'm not sure he'd be comfortable with that.  So I'll 
guess that its the steering committee.  I'll send them a copy.
