Here goes my fuzzy memory:

Somewhere we declared a truce on verbatim downloads such that if one
did a d)ownload command not a hair was touched and if one clicked
on a link there was some [helpful to some] meddling.

Is that just for BASEifying HTML pages? or does that apply to
automagically unzipping compressed thingies?

Second point [Larry's]:

Others over ages too long to recount have yearned for this, too.
My statement of what you want is somehow to be able to follow a
control degree of freedom across all the stages in the life cycle
of the final decision.  This has been extended to now include
Configure.

I think I may still have a PostScript of the document someone
else started in this regard (mostly looking at compile time
manipulation of these decisions, but then I want the whole
enchillada).
