Cool.  It would be great to run your altPlugins from within MetaCard, 
and as long as they use native Transcript (without Rev-specific 
libraries) they'll run great.

The licensing is apparently a minor issue and soon to be addressed, so 
dive on in. :)

That would be so cool.  I really enjoyed meeting you and Jery in SF, 
perhaps the high point of the trip.  We could even move from our normal 
weekday evening format to an all-day Saturday Transcript-fest.

Looking forward to seeing Jerry's toolkit deployed. The preview at the 
Rev seminar looked great.
