Shawn, don't knock yourself out. ;-)

I think getting the semantics right (of the command set in fast-import) is important, but it doesn't have to be right *yesterday*. I won't need to point my command stream at fast-import for at least another day or two. ;-) I have some subtle code to write first that'll take me a bit to get right...

Thanks for your enthusiasm though!
Cheers,
