You know me, Monte:  I love a good workaround if it gets people back to 
work quickly.

I didn't mean to imply that no effort should me made toward workarounds 
at all, just that when we look at the full range of properties that need 
to be adjusted, we're going to have to accept some significant 
limitations in scope, performance, or both until this is done in the engine.

So my point was merely the hope that any effort to address this without 
engine support would not be misconstrued as there being no need for 
engine support.
