Being able to manage it and having it pulled dynamically are two quite
different things, of course. I'm all for letting users manage the
source data which is used to generate the results, but I'd suggest there
be a review process or similar which happens prior to publication of a
change, just to ensure that we don't end up with garbage out there
somehow, which I think is what Magnus was hinting at up-thread.

Maybe we even just have it be an email which is sent out when changes
are done, but if we *do* end up with garbage, it'd be out there for
however long it takes for someone to see the email *and* take corrective
action.

Thanks,
