Yes, I know they are designed so people can look at them and discuss 
them.  Then if there is enough interest, they may be used and may be 
approved by LO.

As for the my earlier reply, on the LO web site and smartphone/tablet 
viewing:  I really think that people who do have phones and small 
tablets that can view web pages, need to test out LO's pages and see how 
well they work.  My phone's browser not not view the LO site well at 
all.  SO, it might be an idea to make in info page designed for small 
screen smartphones or small screen tablets.  My LG500 phone has a 1.5 
inch [2 inch diagonal] screen.  My last "smarter" flip-phone browser was 
even worse.

It would be nice to have something that is very easy to read by these 
small screen devices.
