Great, thanks!  That seems like a sane development model to me.  As you
know,
I'll probably be doing most of my work in 3.0 anyway....

Probably.  I don't know how far along they are but I think that the idea is
for objects
to be able to autodisplay themselves in a variety of contexts (notebook,
command line,
static html, etc), with the option of having distinct displays for each
context.  This would
allow, for instance, Plots to show themselves.  This is worth following
more, though...

Be Well
