There's a spectrum of views on 
the extent to which the SUO should be
pushing the state of the art as opposed to more simply
reflecting current accepted/best practice.

In my opinion, a shared statement on where we are along this spectrum 
would give us a metric which would identify a good fraction of all
previously posted paragraphs as not relevant (to the group per se).
