involving policy. But agreed - if it is a pure political talking-shop it
sounds like madness to waste scarce engineering time on it :-)

In which field Eike is an expert :-)

In which field Eike has good form - his great work on the OpenDocument

And Eike is IMHO one of the most friendly, outgoing & community engaged
engineers Sun have, so personally I don't see that being a problem
either :-)
