	a) keep in mind that the abstract submission deadline is just the
	deadline for the abstract :) (that is, "what I'm gonna write")

	b) even if you're not finished with the project in time for the
	actual paper submission deadline, reporting on your progress so
	far, and your reactions, findings, etc. would still be welcome.

	c) if you finish after the final paper submission deadline, I'm
	going to bet you could add ad-hoc notes about your final results
	and no one would complain. The proceedings are only going to be
	available on the web, so it's not like there's an errata
	publishing issue :)
