I quite agree, my good sir. Simple it is.

My selfish lobbying is not to make the usage simpler, but that your 
abuse of it, and my abuse of it, may be exactly the same. Not sure how I 
got KISS out of that, and I am very willing to model my abuse after your 
abuse, or anyone elses for that matter. Long as it works.

But when both of us abuse it in exactly the same way, then we can share 
components with maximum ease. And that is the promise that I so 
selfishly lobby for. So much duplication of effort in our little world, 
but none of it necessary, because the code is all shared willingly. Only 
the lack of common interfaces prevent it, and a commonly accepted loose 
coupling mechanism. That is the promise of Avalon, a promise I wish to 
take to the code bank.
