Basically I'd rather we modelled some bit of real hardware. I don't see the point in providing a model of somebody else's model -- if you don't care about matching real hardware we have 'virt' already. So I don't really want to model either the Foundation Platform or the AEM, unless there's a really compelling reason to do that. thanks -- PMM
