So Barney, the obligation on you is clear:
- pick one of the many theoretically sound clean designs for records
- (or make up your own)
- write it up on the wiki
- show what work it would need to get there from where we are
- encourage discussion on this forum

One thing I can be pretty sure of: proposals not written up won't get 
implemented.
