Too bad.  I saw a video from an old WWDC (probably the same one in which 
they demoed the ill-fated HC3) in which the presenter had a text window 
with a slider control, and as he moved the slider the text would get 
more and more stripped down until it eventually showed only a sentence 
or two containing the most salient concepts.

Nifty demo, but given the nuances of language and its continual 
evolution (we live in a world where "bad" means "good" and "sick" means 
"great") I can understand why it's been ditched.
