<smile> true, true. It would be *so* nice to be able to have, say, Jerusalem
on a whole seperate plane - so much bloodshed would be spared... but that's
for o-t.debate ;-). And it would be quite nice for me to be able to jump from

Yeah. Some of these are great ideas that can come in *addition* to, instead of
*replacing*, the current system.

Yeah- no point in worrying *too* much. ;-)
