I had no idea there was a size limit to posts; I'm surprised I hadn't 
run up against that myself yet. :)

Of course I like it.  A lot.  Your thorough, disciplined thinking goes 
far beyond my modest SVG layout experiments, to incorporate messaging 
and other elements of interactivity in a manner integrated with layout 
mechanics and storage for a cohesive development methodology.

I absolutely love this metaphor:

    There are more helicopters in the bottom of the sea
    than submarines in the sky.

In your summary essay you've managed to articulate something that was at 
the edges of my consciousness, a hunch about how things might be made to 
work to solve real-world web-deployment needs while still enjoying the 
benefits of crafting in Rev, a way of thinking about this problem that 
previously for me had no concrete form nor name.

Perhaps we can now call it The Andre Method. :)

And perhaps we can now get to work.

The good and bad news on my side is that, in spite of how excited I am 
by the clarity you've lent to this thus far, I'm up to my armpits in 
desktop apps for the next several months, so at most all I can offer is 
some cheerleading from the sidelines and maybe a function or two now and 
then.

Maybe one good way to get the ball rolling to see these ideas become 
tangible goodies would be to build an example first.  Maybe a decent 
first example might be a web site to manage the project?
