By the same token, one comment from one individual... however 
forceful... doesn't necessarily indicate a groundswell.  Until we 
manage to generate enough interest in the user community to mobilize 
a much broader base of participation, we're forced to use our own 
judgement in putting individual inputs in perspective.

And until that time it seems prudent to err on the side of 
underspecifying rather than staking out premature positions we might 
regret later.  So I'm not sure "adequate" isn't a good standard to 
shoot for at this early stage.
