Great.  I think so too.  Lots of useful information from the Mozilla 
project on this front.

Maybe I'll try to rephrase that...  Given that things seem to be moving 
in this direction, it would be useful to open new bugs for things that 
continue this progression, and group them together with a tracking 
(meta) bug in order to monitor that progress.

This also makes it much easier for interested contributers to tackle 
something fairly well defined that moves incrementally in the right 
direction.
