I am very conscious that we have had no input from Patrick (and Mark) for a
while - please note that these are only my thoughts, in the absence of
others - and Patrick is the guru / chief architect - he may well have very
different views to me !!

Well happy to do that - there are some related things that I have come up

to make use of them.
