This is my assumption as well, and should be remembered when discussing these solutions.

But this discussion is pretty much useless until we have a draft about the problem statement, as it affects which kind of properties are useful. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems.
