I am in complete agreement with you, especially about the many small 
things which could use improvement.  I call these rough edges that need 
to be polished.

However, I must warn you that your efforts to make these improvements 
may not always be welcomed.  In fact, you will probably find that in 
some cases your efforts will be met with hostility.  I don't know what 
to say about this except that it is an unfortunate situation for which I 
can offer no real solution.
