I like the incremental approach, Tim, but this plan would present a 
small problem for me: in the absence of Meta-AMS in test series A1 I 
would have to develop an additional static-configuration capability for 
my implementation, which it otherwise doesn't require and wouldn't use.

But maybe this isn't as much work as I'm imagining it could be; I need 
to give this some thought.
