There is nothing, however, to prevent multiple CU's from being created
IMHO, this is part of the answer to Perry's concerns regarding the difficulty of getting it right. Multiple digital CU's and other similar projects will try different approaches; eventually creativity and natural selection will evolve a usable system through market forces. Although I have not had Perry's experience with this sort of thing, I tend to agree with him that the magic will be in the details, and mostly in the NON-technical details, making this an EXTREMELY difficult project. But lay on! I applaud your daring, and wish you success, and recognize that even if you fail, you will have contributed much in the process. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stuart W.
