I'm not against AFT branching out and doing more...there are some architecture 
issues that rather prevent this in 1.4.  In 2.0 the way things are currently 
planned this should be less of a problem.  But it'll be a good time for me to 
re-evaluate how AFT should be structured so maybe I'll hit you up at that 
time for some input.
