I suspect we're starting to diverge. 
My last comment on this is:

  If we can absolutely not agree on the single best solution, then
  probably gaining some experience with 2 (or 3 ??) solutions may

  stage, cause apparently we know not ebough to make up our mind on
  what should be the standard.
