	Out of curiosity, is this something that could be relatively 
safely done in general?  Any ideas on what the plan is for doing this

	These both sound like typical improvements, based on what I've 
seen on this list.  Any ideas on when they might become the default?

	This is the only one that really concerns me.  This shows that we 
clearly need more work on ULE.  Is there one particular thing that we 
seem to be tripping up on, or is it a multitude of things?
