Hi Guillaume - sorry for not responding sooner. I've got lots of comments, but rather than save them up, I'll post them as separate comments. In general I think this is a wonderful assessment. I'll probably be bold about editing this doc after having some discussion here on some of the points first.

BTW, I'm sitting six feet away from Guillaume right now, and I'm commenting here. Look at us being all transparent ;-) /me pats self on back
