As Alan suggested in 20130126064433.GG1859%apb-laptoy.apb.alt.za@localhost,
could you please write a document that answers all those questions for
the various alternatives you are considering, before writing the code?
 (Such document will be helpful to decide what to do now, and later in
the future to showcase that various options were considered and to
justify why a particular option was chosen/discarded.)
