FWIW, I wrote to Jonathan privately.  I know the guy pretty well.  I'd be
happy to post what I sent to him.  For me, it wasn't the usability aspect
of what he wrote that got me, since that is surely a matter of personal
preference.  What did get me was the opinion that what could be done was
much less efficient and that it was his opinion that less could be done
than was actually true.  So I wrote back to him and corrected some of his
assertions.  I offered to take up his challenge, I hope he follows through
with it.

Geoff.
