Yes, this makes sense to me. Erm... Is there somewhere I can read your
IA proposal, Mike? Maybe we can work on attack plan for each page, or
maybe you already had some ideas in that respect that we could
develop?

I'd guess that such a study of practical usage examples for each
segment would be likely to go to around 750 words per page, if one is
to give decent coverage without actually writing a book about it. What
are your ideas and estimates about that?

In any case, I'd be very interested to hear more and see this go
forward. Can we work on it together?
