We will probably find that *everthing* each of us does will offend somebody
else. I'm not too keen to get into "best practice" wars. That's what IRC is
for ;-)

I would like to see a number of samples, which demonstrate different design
methodologies/philosophies, so we are offending everyone with equal
opportunity.
