Without going into a blow-by-blow discussion, let me say that I agree 
with Louis. My sense of this is that we finally have some good ideas 
coming forward, but probably not the definitive ones. As I read the 
comments from both Louis and Andreas, I am beginning to understand some 
things much  better,  and I think these are essential points of view - 
the programmer and the end-user in a commercial/professional environment.

We clearly need to reduce much of the rigidity of MPs, so that changing 
one's mind about a layout doesn't end up being a lot of undoing and 
redoing of time-consuming work. I think it's also clear this is not just 
a matter of tacking on a bunch of new functions to MPs.

I also found Alex's table in the wiki a big help in putting the 
discussion (so far) in context.
