The Islamic Federation Working Group (me, Noam, John A) has been
discussing
things on the side, and I think I mentioned it there--but maybe not. 
Call
it the	Lobachevsky effect. (for those of you not familiar with history
of
mathematics, that means "he who publishes first gets the recognition,
even
if someone else came up with the idea first.")	Noam, shall we accept
our
Prize for Innovation in Naval Architecture jointly?  That way we'd each
get
MUCr .00000004, as I recall...
