Just put it in the spec and when I am read with iteration two of the parser 
I'll put it in.

;-)  On the kino-devel list they are just discussing how to get the thumbnails 
from the cilps in the timeline. They seem to haveproblems doing that in 
reasonable speed... I am curious how the pipes work. I hope it's fast enough. 
I don't really need batch rendering and I don't see it as a primary goal, but 
if it would work, it would be pretty cool ;-)  But also, linking piave 
direktly into kdenlive does _not_ mean we give up batch rendering, only for 
the interactive part we would use it directly. Anyway, I agree with you tha 
we should lead this discussion when we really tried XML->loopback.

I think I understood the threading stuff good enough to start implementing it 
now.
