Let me be more explicit then. I think this is an idea that
is based on very little understanding of what is involved,
to the point that I think it would be pointless to discuss
it without knowing what are the things *you* perceive as
being benefits, and what disadvantages or potential road-blocks
*you* have already thought of.
