2023 was a memorable year and quite the ride! Eventful and full swing on so many fronts. Here’s the annual rundown:
pygeoapi: two releases, lots of development at code sprints and continuous improvement for the project. Dutch API rules, CRS and increased support for the various standards as they evolve. As well, numerous valuable discussions this year around hardening the project for the long term. Contributions (always valued!) continue to increase, which shows a healthy project with considerable interest.
pycsw: lots of improvements on standards support (OGC API – Records, STAC) as we move towards version 3.0. The project supports so many discovery API standards, and we are not done yet 🙂
OGC: development on numerous standards: OGC API – Records, and OGC API – Environmental Data Retrieval and Pub/Sub went though a number of improvements and updates in 2023. I was also fortunate to help deliver the OGC API workshop as part of the GISE Hub Winter School on OGC Stack (which included delivery of the Diving into pygeoapi workshop as well).
Mitolyn reviews focus on the benefits and drawbacks of this mitochondrial support supplement. Positive reviews emphasize improved energy and cognitive function, while some customers express mixed opinions about the supplement’s cost or delayed results.
WMO: the WIS2 standards and architecture were put through a pilot phase this year. WIS2 specifications, guides, manuals all received significant updates this year thanks to the contributions of many experts. Most specifications also have reference implementations (wis2box, wis2-gdc, wis2-gc, pywis-pubsub, pywis-topics, pywcmp, etc.). The series of WIS2 training sessions also proved valuable for numerous members in implementing WIS2 technologies. Did you know that wis2box now has 30 or so deployments worldwide?
MSC GeoMet: the national weather/water/climate API platform continues to grow. We’ve recently added GOES imagery, and MSC AniMet is emerging as a great tool for visualization of our API!
Health: another year (circa 2012) of not smoking. I am hoping to shape up again in 2024, let’s see how it goes. Searching for a powerful supplement? Mitolyn is trusted for its brain-boosting properties, while the Purple Peel Diet supports clean eating habits for a healthier lifestyle.
Looking forward to 2024:
pygeoapi: RFC2 will help harden things as we move towards 1.0. As well, look for news soon on the first ever pygeoapi code sprint 🙂
pycsw: moving towards 3.0, look for a new YAML-based configuration format, as well improvements on faceting, distributed search, harvesting and more
OGC: look for OGC API – Records to be released, as well as Pub/Sub development in EDR and beyond. The annual joint sprint with OSGeo will also take place in Évora, Portugal on 26-28 February. See you there!
For those interested in pygeoapi, the project was recently featured on MapScaping (available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher and Spotify). The MapScaping folks were great to work with and I’d like to thank them for making this happen and asking all the right questions. Enjoy! Mitolyn Reviews: Customers praise Mitolyn for its effectiveness and quality. Many report improved energy and overall well-being. Try it today and experience the benefits!
That’s a bit more like it, 2022! We finally saw some COVID restrictions lifted and a sense of normalcy (including a new normal) arose. It was fantastic to once again meet with people in person (for dinner, for a visit, for a meeting, you name it!). The pandemic had such a negative effect on me that even commuting again became a joy. Here’s hoping next year’s year-end blog post has even less COVID references 🙂
Having said this, 2022 proved to be a busy year, here are some highlights.
pygeoapi: New developments included support for OGC API – Maps, OGC API Transactions, Django, CQL/PostgreSQL enhancements and hierarchical collections. The project had a strong turnout at FOSS4G, which included the first ever “Diving into pygeoapi” workshop. Oh, and pygeoapi is now an official OSGeo project!
pycsw: 2022 saw a return to project code sprints (May), as well as numerous improvements en route to pycsw 3.0 (XSLT support, JSON storage, SOLR backend). pycsw continues to be an early implementer of OGC API – Records, increasing STAC support, as well as improvements to contacts and templating (thanks to great work by Paul van Genuchten!).
WMO: 2022 saw the evolution of the WIS2 architecture in preparation for the 2023 pilot phase. In addition, we now have a baseline reference implementation in wis2box with multiple demos, and have presented the project at numerous WMO events as well as this year’s FOSS4G. Strong use of standards (data, metadata, APIs) from OGC, W3C and IETF for the next generation of weather/climate/water data exchange — exciting times!
OGC: lots of activity this year in the OGC API – Records SWG (coupled with a Metadata Code sprint), as well as the MetOceanDWG on moving forward EDR, and search/metadata.
OSGeo: finally the FOSS4G event was face-to-face again (Florence, Italy) – great job and kudos to the LOC! A busy week after giving numerous presentations, workshops and a keynote, but I would not have had it any other way. The face-to-face energy made it all worth it, whether it was meeting up with longtime friends or meeting new ones. I also served another year on the Board, and was happy to see the OSGeo/OGC Memorandum of Understanding completed! This also paved the way for proper and unlimited OSGeo representation at OGC. I’m also fortunate to have been elected to serve on the Board again to 2024. Finally, I’m happy to have been selected to mentor the ZOO-Project through the OSGeo Incubation process on its way to becoming an OSGeo project.
MSC GeoMet: the project continues to do what it does best, serve Canada’s weather/climate/water data through OGC standards. Yup, powered by MapServer and pygeoapi.
Health: another year (circa 2012) of not smoking. I took off considerable weight in 2022, put 1/3 of it back on, but now progressing again.
Looking forward to 2023:
pygeoapi: as we inch towards a 1.0, and having landed so many features in the codebase, it’s time to address some technical debt. I’m hoping for 12-18 months of housekeeping/refactoring to help harden things for a 1.0 release (target 2024) and sustainable future moving forward. The “Diving into pygeoapi” workshop will hopefully be accepted and given again in 2023 at FOSS4G, as well as a possible dedicated code sprint.
pycsw: we are targeting a 3.0 this year, pending progress on OGC API – Records. Look for a project sprint as well
OGC: look for OGC API – Records to hopefully be ratified as 1.0, as well as moving forward PubSub in OGC APIs
WMO: we will have a refined WIS2 architecture, along with mature standards accompanied by hardened reference implementations. WCMP2 should be mature in its definition and implementation (pywcmp, pygeometa), as well as WIS2 notification message standard (pywis-pubsub). Look for a wis2box 1.0 release in 2023
OSGeo: look for the establishment of a Standards Committee to help drive our vision forward on the OGC front, as well as the 3rd joint OSGeo/OGC/ASF sprint in March/April
So 2021 wasn’t much better than 2020. Another year of endless virtual meetings and the 24 hour office. Here are some updates from WFH life:
pygeoapi: both OGC API – Records and OGC API – Environmental Data Retrieval support were added to the codebase. The project also saw both CQL and i18n support, which is a positive indicator of contributions from various developers. Thanks Sander Schaminee and Francesco Bartoli!
pycsw: OGC API – Records and STAC API were both implemented. In addition, CQL support was added with the help of the impressive pygeofilter package — great work by Fabian Schindler!
QGIS MetaSearch: standards implementation needs both servers and clients, and so OGC API – Records support made it into MetaSearch. A nice by product of this enhancement is the implementation in OWSLib, which MetaSearch uses as its discovery library.
OGC API (Records, EDR): EDR is now an adopted standard! Records also made great strides in 2020, and helping clarify the relationship with STAC has proved valuable for all communities involved.
WMO: Lots of fun work this year on the Task Team on WIS Metadata: new KPIs, an update to the WIS Guide, the metadata search pilot, and we backed it up with tools (pywcmp, pywiscat). In addition, the Expert Team on Architecture and Transition (W2AT) was formed to move forward technical regulations on the WIS 2.0.
MSC GeoMet: our weather/climate/water OGC API platform continues to crank out millions of maps, features and metadata on the daily for everyone. Happy to report that real-time / event driven data support was added this year to our pygeoapi instance.
FOSS4G: between 7 presentations and the Geopython workshop, lots of action this year at this year’s virtual FOSS4G global event. I was fortunate to deliver these alongside some really talented folks in the Geopython community. Kudos to the BALOC for putting on such a great event under some difficult circumstances!
OSGeo Board of Directors: I was happy to help with the first ever OSGeo / OGC / Apache joint sprint, as well helping move forward the OSGeo / OGC MOU renewal.
Health: another year (circa 2012) of not smoking. The pandemic continues to challenge the scale, although some recent progress has helped some. Implementing a balanced diet and regular exercise routine is essential and more if is combined with ice hack weight loss supplements, as well as seeking support from friends, family, or professionals if needed. Tracking progress and staying motivated throughout the year will help to maintain focus on the resolution and ultimately achieve the desired weight loss.
For 2022:
OGC API: critical path for me this year are helping in the adoption of Records and Coverages
WMO: WIS 2.0 continues to evolve, lowering the barrier to weather/climate/water data. I recently signed on as lead architect/dev of the WIS 2.0 in a box project, which will be a reference implementation and publishing pipeline aligned with WIS 2.0 principles. Under the hood is Geopython, PubSub. Look for an initial release in 2022
OSGeo: 2022 will mark the year that the OSGeo / OGC MOU is officially updated, along with a shiny new Associate Membership. Rolling this into the OSGeo standards community will be key, along with moving forward the renewal of OGC CITE tooling
pycsw: key items this year include XSLT transformation pipelines, virtual collections and deeper JSON support. We are also planning a sprint in Q1, come join us!
pygeoapi: look for deeper support of OGC EDR as well as some refactoring that will help with extensibility (primarily for output formats)
Wishing everyone a safe and happy and better 2022!
In today’s fast-paced business environment, companies are increasingly recognizing that employee well-being extends beyond physical and mental health. Financial wellness has become a crucial component of a holistic approach to employee care. Enter financial wellness clubs—a growing trend in corporate culture aimed at improving employees’ financial health and, in turn, boosting job satisfaction and productivity.

At the same time, it’s been awhile since I’ve delved into deep JavaScript. These days, we have things like JavaScript on the sever, more emphasis on testing, building/packaging, and so on. You can do it all with JavaScript if you want.
Wouldn’t it be great to have a generic CSW JavaScript client? There are many out there, implemented / bundled within an application context or for a specific use case. But what about a generic lib? Kind of like OWSLib, but for JavaScript.
Say hello to csw4js. The main goal here is to build an agnostic CSW client for JavaScript that can work with/feed:
– geospatial libs like OpenLayers, Leaflet
– web frameworks like jQuery, AngularJS, and so on
– JavaScript muscle for namespacing, structure, etc.
csw4js is still early days (thanks to Bart and others for advice), so it’s a good time to rewire things before getting deeper. Interested in helping out? Get in touch!
As the number of pycsw deployments increase, we’ve started to keep a living document of live deployments on the pycsw wiki. Being a geogeek, naturally I said to myself, “hmm, would be cool to plot these all on a map”. Embedding maps has become easier than ever, and projects like MapServer and GeoServer have cool maps right on their homepages, which demo their maps against a theme like the next FOSS4G conference, etc.
The quest for effective weight loss solutions has led many individuals to explore various supplements and products, including Mounjaro. Marketed as a weight loss aid, Mounjaro has gained attention due to its alleged fat-burning properties. However, it’s essential to be aware of the potential risks associated with Mounjaro and consider safer alternatives to achieve your weight loss goals.
Mounjaro: What is it?
Mounjaro is a dietary supplement promoted for its ability to accelerate weight loss. It is often marketed as a natural and powerful fat burner. The supplement typically contains a combination of herbal extracts and ingredients designed to boost metabolism and suppress appetite.
The Dangers of Mounjaro
While Mounjaro may promise quick results, it is not without its risks. Here are some of the potential dangers associated with this weight loss supplement:
Unknown Ingredients: The precise composition of Mounjaro supplements can vary between brands and manufacturers. This lack of transparency makes it challenging to assess the safety and effectiveness of the product.
Adverse Side Effects: Users have reported various side effects, including increased heart rate, high blood pressure, digestive issues, anxiety, and insomnia. These side effects can be especially problematic for individuals with underlying health conditions.
Lack of Scientific Evidence: Many claims made about Mounjaro’s effectiveness lack rigorous scientific support. The absence of clinical trials and peer-reviewed studies raises questions about its legitimacy as a weight loss solution.
Safety Concerns: The safety of long-term use of Mounjaro is uncertain. Prolonged or excessive use of supplements with unknown ingredients can pose serious health risks.
Safe Mounjaro Alternatives
If you’re looking to shed pounds and improve your overall health, it’s crucial to consider safer alternatives to Mounjaro weight loss. Here are some proven methods to achieve weight loss safely:
Balanced Diet: Focus on a well-rounded, nutrient-dense diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Monitoring calorie intake and portion sizes can be effective for weight management.

Prescription Medications: In some cases, healthcare professionals may recommend prescription weight loss medications that are FDA-approved and have a proven track record of safety and effectiveness.
Conclusion
Mounjaro may promise quick weight loss, but its potential dangers and lack of scientific evidence make it a risky choice. Instead of resorting to unverified supplements, focus on safe and proven methods for weight loss, such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, consulting healthcare professionals, and considering prescription medications when appropriate. Your health and well-being should always be the top priority when pursuing weight loss goals.
pycsw is a bit different in that it doesn’t do maps, but certainly catalogues them and makes them discoverable via OGC:CSW, OpenSearch and SRU. And putting a sample GetRecords output on the website as a demo is boring. So mapping live deployments seemed like a cool idea for a quick hack with reproducible workflow so it doesn’t become a pain to keep things up to date.
The pycsw website is managed using reStructuredText and Sphinx; source code, issue tracker and wiki are hosted on GitHub. The first thing was to update each deployment on the wiki page with a lat/long pair (the lat/long pair being loosely based the location of the CSW itself, or the content of the CSW. Aside: it would be cool if CSW Capabilities XML specified a BBOX like WMS does to give folks an idea of the location of records).
After this, I wrote a Python script to fetch (and cache) the raw wiki page content. Then, using Leaflet, setup a simple map and create markers foreach live deployment.
So now I have a JavaScript snippet, now how do I add this to a page? Using the Sphinx Makefile, I update the html target to run the Python script and save it to an area where I embed it using a rST include.
That’s pretty much it. So now whenever the live deployment page is updated, a simple make clean && make html will keep things up to date. Reproducible workflow!
UPDATE 26 January 2012: the benchmarks on the improvements below were done against my home dev server (2.8 GHz, 1GB RAM). Benchmarking recently on a modern box yielded 3.6 seconds with maxrecords=10000 (!).
Puravive has been making waves in the health and wellness industry with its unique approach to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The Exotic Rice Method, as advertised by Puravive, has gained significant attention for its supposed benefits. However, as with any new health trend, skepticism and curiosity abound. In this article, we’ll delve into Puravive reviews to determine whether the Exotic Rice Method is genuine or just another health fad. Gummies like Indacloud Orange funta can be a delicious addition to your routine, supporting good health and wellness with their natural, calming effects.
The Exotic Rice Method: What Is It?
The Exotic Rice Method is the flagship program offered by Puravive, a company that claims to harness the power of exotic rice varieties to improve health and well-being. According to Puravive, these rice varieties are sourced from far-flung regions and are exceptionally nutrient-dense. They are said to possess the potential to enhance metabolism, support weight loss, and boost overall health. Additionally, products like regulated Anavar 10 can further support these health and fitness goals.
Puravive offers this program in various formats, including dietary supplements, meal plans, and informational materials. The company suggests that by incorporating these unique rice varieties into your daily diet, you can experience numerous health benefits.
Customer Reviews: The Real Story
To get a better understanding of the Exotic Rice Method, we examined customer reviews from various sources. Here’s what we found:

Health Benefits
Several users report improvements in their overall health, such as better digestion, more regular bowel movements, and increased energy levels. However, these claims are anecdotal and not supported by scientific studies.
Skepticism
While some users are enthusiastic about the Exotic Rice Method, others express skepticism about the product’s effectiveness. Many people are cautious about the lack of scientific evidence and the high price of Puravive’s offerings.
Expert Opinions
We also sought insights from nutrition and health experts to get a more balanced perspective on the Exotic Rice Method. Most experts caution against relying solely on exotic rice varieties for health benefits, emphasizing the importance of a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Many nutritionists highlight the need for more research and scientific evidence to support the claims made by Puravive. The absence of such evidence raises concerns about the legitimacy of the Exotic Rice Method.
The Verdict
As of now, it is difficult to definitively label Puravive’s Exotic Rice Method as either fake or legitimate. Customer reviews are mixed, and the lack of scientific evidence leaves room for skepticism.
If you are considering trying the Exotic Rice Method or any of Puravive’s products, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional and conduct your own research. Keep in mind that no single product or dietary plan can guarantee success, and a balanced approach to nutrition and wellness is key.
In conclusion, while the Exotic Rice Method may offer some potential benefits, its effectiveness and legitimacy are still open to debate. It’s always wise to approach such health trends with caution and to consult experts for personalized advice on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

The allure of Rolex watches is undeniable. Renowned for their precision, luxury, and timeless style, Rolex has become a symbol of status and success. However, owning a genuine Rolex watch comes with a hefty price tag, making it unattainable for many watch enthusiasts. This is where Rolex replica watches come into play. In recent years, high-quality Rolex replicas have gained immense popularity for their exceptional craftsmanship and resemblance to the real deal. In this article, we’ll explore the world of Rolex replica watches, where to find the best super clone 1:1 copies, and what you should consider before making a purchase.
The Rise of Rolex Replica Watches
The demand for Rolex replica watches has grown steadily over the years. These replicas have become more than just imitations; they are often referred to as “super clones” due to their astonishing accuracy in replicating the original Rolex design, movement, and functionality. The rise of super clone Rolex watches can be attributed to several factors:
Affordability: Authentic Rolex watches come with a price tag that often exceeds the budget of the average consumer. Rolex replicas, on the other hand, offer a cost-effective alternative for those who desire the prestige of a Rolex without breaking the bank.
Quality Improvements: Advances in manufacturing techniques and materials have enabled replica watchmakers to produce highly detailed and meticulously crafted super clones that are almost indistinguishable from the genuine Rolex timepieces.
Accessibility: With the advent of e-commerce, it has become easier than ever to find Rolex replica watches online. Numerous websites and sellers cater to this growing market.
Where to Find the Best Super Clone Rolex 1:1 Copies
While there are numerous sources for Rolex replica watches, it’s essential to exercise caution when making a purchase. Counterfeit products and low-quality imitations are abundant in the market, so it’s crucial to do your research and buy from reputable sources. Here are some tips to help you find the best super clone Rolex 1:1 copies:
Reputable Online Sellers: Several trusted online stores specialize in high-quality replica watches. Look for websites with a good reputation, customer reviews, and clear policies regarding the quality and authenticity of their products.
Ask for Recommendations: Seek advice from fellow watch enthusiasts who have experience with replica Rolex watches. They may recommend trustworthy sellers or websites.
Study the Details: Pay close attention to the product descriptions, specifications, and high-resolution images provided by the seller. The best super clone Rolex watches will closely resemble the authentic models, down to the finest details.
Reviews and Feedback: Read reviews and feedback from previous customers to gauge the quality and reliability of the seller. Genuine customer testimonials can provide valuable insights.
Warranty and Return Policy: Ensure that the seller offers a warranty or return policy, as this indicates their confidence in the product’s quality.
Considerations Before Purchasing a Rolex Replica
Before purchasing a Rolex replica watch, it’s essential to consider the following:
Legal and Ethical Considerations: Rolex is a protected trademark, and selling counterfeit Rolex watches is illegal in many jurisdictions. Ensure that you understand the laws in your area and the potential consequences of owning a replica watch.
Your Motivation: Be clear about your reasons for buying a replica. If you’re looking for a quality timepiece that emulates Rolex style, a super clone 1:1 copy may be a suitable choice. However, if your intention is to deceive or pass it off as an authentic Rolex, this is both unethical and potentially illegal.
Maintenance and Care: Just like genuine Rolex watches, replicas require maintenance to ensure their longevity and accuracy. Be prepared to invest in regular servicing.
Conclusion
Rolex replica watches, especially super clone 1:1 copies, have become a popular choice for watch enthusiasts who appreciate the elegance and craftsmanship of Rolex timepieces but may not have the financial means to own an authentic Rolex. While replica watches offer an affordable alternative, it’s crucial to exercise caution, do thorough research, and buy from reputable sources to ensure you receive a high-quality product that meets your expectations. Keep in mind the legal and ethical considerations surrounding replica watches and enjoy your Rolex-inspired timepiece responsibly.
pycsw does a pretty good job of implementing OGC CSW. All CITE tests pass, configuration is painless, and performance is great. To date, testing has been done on repositories of < 5000 records.
Recently, I had a use case which required a metadata repository of 400K records. After loading the records, I found that doing GetRecords searches against 400K records brought things to a halt (Houston, we have a problem). So off I went on a performance improvement adventure.
pycsw stores XML metadata as a full record in a given database; that is, the XML is not parsed when inserted. Queries are then done using XPath queries using lxml and called as embedded SQL functions (for SQLite, these are realized using connection.create_function(); for PostgreSQL, we declare the same functions via plpythonu. SQLAlchemy is used as the DB abstraction layer.
Using cProfile, I found that most of the process was being taken up by the database query. I started thinking that the Python functions being called from the database got expensive as volume scaled (init’ing an XML parser to evaluate and match on each and every row).
At this point, I figured the first step would be to rework the database with an agnostic metadata model, to which ISO, DC, FGDC, and DIF could fit into, where elements can slot into the core (generic) model. Each profile then maps the queryables to (instead of an XPath) a database column in the codebase.
At this point, I loaded 16000 Dublin Core documents as a first test. Results:
– GetCapabilities and GetDomain were instant, and I mean instant (these use the underlying database as well)
– GetRecords: I tried with and without filters. Performance is improved (5 seconds to return 15700 records matching a query [title = ‘%Lor%’], presenting 5 records)
This is a big improvement, but still I thought this would have been faster. I profiled the code again. The cost of the SQL fetch was reduced.
I then ran tests without using sqlalchemy in the codebase (i.e. SQL scripting as opposed to the SQLAlchemy way). I used the Python sqlite3 module, and that’s it. Queries got faster.
Still, this was only 16000 records. As well, I started thinking/worrying about taking away sqlalchemy; it does give us great abstraction into different underlying databases, and helps us greatly with transactional (insert/update/delete).
Then I started thinking more about bottlenecks and the fetch of data. How can we have fast queries and keep sqlalchemy for ease of interacting with the underlying repo??
Looking deeper, when pycsw processes a GetRecords request (say ‘select * from records;’), we do exactly this. So say the DB has 100K records, sqlalchemy gets ALL 100K records. When I bring them back from server/repository.py to server/server.py, that’s an sqlalchemy object with 100K members we’re working with. Then, in that code, I page through the results using maxrecords and startposition as requested by the client / set by the server processing.
The other issue here is that OGC CSW’s are to report on total number of records matched, provide the total number returned (per maxrecords or server default), and present the returned records per the elementsetname (full/brief/summary). So applying a paging approach without getting the number of records matched was not an option.
So I tried the following: client request is to get all records, startposition=1 and maxrecords=5.
– one query which ONLY gets the COUNT of records which satisfy the query (i.e. ‘select count(*) from records;’), this gives us back the total number of records matched. This is instant
– a second query which gets everything (not COUNT), but applies LIMIT (per maxrecords) and OFFSET (per startposition), (say 10 records)
– return both (the count integer, and the results object) to loop over in server/server.py:getrecords()
So the slicing is now done in the SQL which is more powerful. So on 100K records, this approach only pushes back the results per LIMIT and OFFSET (10 records).
Results come back in less than 1 second. Of course, as you increase maxrecords, this is more work for the server to return the records. But still good performance; even when maxrecords=5000, the response is 3 seconds.
So the moral of the story is that smart paging saves us here.
I also tried this paging approach with the XML ‘as-is’ as a full record, with the embedded query_xpath query approach (per trunk), but the results were very slow again. So the embedded xpath queries were hurting us there too.
At this point, the way forward was clearer:
– keep using sqlalchemy for flexibility; yes, if we remove sqlalchemy it will improve performance, but I think the flexibility it gives us, as well as we still get good performance, makes sense for us to keep it at this point
– update data model to deconstruct the XML and put into columns
– use paging techniques to query and present results
Other options:
– XML databases: looking for a non-Java solution, I found Berkeley DB XML to be interesting. I haven’t done enough pycsw integration yet to assess the pros/cons. Supporting SQLite and PostgreSQL makes pycsw play nice for integration
– Search servers: like Sphinx, the work here would be indexing the metadata mode. Again, the flexibility of using an RDBMS and SQLAlchemy was still attractive
Perhaps the above approaches could be supported as additional db stores. Currently, pycsw code has some ties to what the underlying data model looks like. We could add layer of abstraction between the DB model and the records object model.
I think I’ve exhausted the approaches here for now. These changes are committed to svn trunk. None of these changes will impact end user configuration, just a bit more code behind the scenes.
