Tom,

I know you've been busy with lots of stuff, so here's a little
reminder.  I talked with a couple of people who know the back-end much
better than I do.  One said the above was way under-specified, and the
other said he'd started work on it, but hasn't had much time.

Since you're the one who brought this up, I think it's on you to flesh
it out at least a little bit, or at least to describe it in enough
detail that someone else could.

Cheers,
David.
