Yup, true.

I think I have seen this before somewhere:

I want X to do Y

Why doesn't it do Z too?

Now I want to... and I can't, why does it not do V as well?

This is a crap product!!

Sound familiar? ;)

I know that's not what you're saying here...but, if you had a simple
X10
on/off device that connected to a normal UK switch then the next thing
would be, "why can't it dim, I want a dimmer one", then status,
then
smaller...bla bla bla! You see where I'm going here I'm sure, the same
thing happens with software and, recently, with xAP and the MP3 project
and the thing just spirals out of control.
