Right -- Space used to be called LEGOLAND Space, but now it's called LEGO
SYSTEM Space or the LEGO Space System. (I'd have to check with Joshua to be
absolutely sure, but that's basically the idea.) It would take a temporal
database to put space under both LEGOLAND and SYSTEM, and that would only
confuse things even more. :)

Underground is actually the name of the system to which Rock Raiders
belongs, just as Aquazone is the name of the system to which Aquanauts
belongs. (That is, Underground isn't just another non-U.S. name for Rock
Raiders.)

At some piont, it might make sense to deconstruct the homepage and
reconstruct it in a slightly different configuration for this.

There's never enough stuff to talk about. :)
