I am currently redoing my layout patch to handle all three layout modes
correctly.  As soon as I am done, this will be the next thing I will be
working on.  I just wanted to some get feedback on the idea first,
before trying to implement it.

 "There has grown in the minds of certain groups in this country the
idea that just because
a man or corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of
years, the
government and the courts are charged with guaranteeing such profit in
the future, even in
the face of changing circumstances and contrary to public interest. This
strange doctrine
is supported by neither statue or common law. Neither corporations or
individuals have the
right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped,
or turned back."
