I would definitely support all of this and look forward to all of it, except the name "Actionable". First, the interface is not a tag interface, is it? If the "able" is something you are really fond of, then I would suggest, in honor of Craig calling it "Doable". Second, and related, the pejorative nature of "Actionable" is unfortunate, don't you think? Main Entry: ac·tion·able Pronunciation: 'ak-sh(&-)n&-b&l Function: adjective : subject to or affording ground for an action or suit at law - ac·tion·ably /-blE/ adverb Could the interface be called "Action"? I imagine this has all been discussed before and will set off a firestorm of "Lordy Lordy"s. But, what the heck, one can keep trying to be helpful.
