The spec is currently underspecified.  It says a great deal about
what should *not* go into the window, but almost nothing about
what *should*, with the exception of an idea that Peter has
dropped (a slider).  Well, _something_ has to go there.  I have
been trying to incorporate the results of the discussion that
followed the specification.  As usual, the results were somewhat
ambiguous, so I have had to make decisions which might be
wrong.  Mostly I thought that it was necessary to show something
concrete, to keep the topic from fading.

Second, please don't worry too much about how hard I am
working.  I have tried a hundred variations by now, and am
happy to try a hundred more.   And even if none of this ends
up being used, I have learned a tremendous amount in the
process.
