good thing that's not what we're doing then =)

hopefully klink will become compelling enough that the KIMProxy people will 
end up using it as the underpinnings for it. KIMProxy is a subset of klink's 
ambitions, and really the start of the movement that will innevitably lead us 
to adopting the sorts of things klink is.

if klink emerges on the desktop and we still need KIMProxy, other than as a 
presence-specific API to klink, then klink will have failed.

yes, this is exaclty what we need to get klink working well: the ability to 
quickly harvest information into the system.

the question is how to recognize that information, and where it belongs.

the two are actually the same thing when one examines the mechanics of it.
