This is inconsistent. QTX is Apple rewriting as set of API for 
Quicktime; and, as for most software products, the first release is not 
fully satisfying.
  You expect runrev, whose core expertise, IMHO, is not video, to do a 
better job at it: starting from scratch to produce their own multimedia 
package. C'mon.
Give credit to Apple: they acknowledge that QTX is not final by letting 
folks use QT 7.

Honestly, I'd rather see runrev fix the "text field beast".
