Just finished reading them now.  Thanks for the pointer, they make an 
excellent review of the space.

One thing that worries me a little is that all three seem to have 
advantages and disadvantages, yet none is so obviously better than the 
others that it stands out as the only reasonable way to do it.  This means 
some groups will adopt one, some will adopt another, and the world will 
become fragmented.
