Yes - if you look at my proposal, I didn't propose using the shell for the
data definitions.

I read Manoj's synopsis, and I read the original messages he quoted, and I
never saw a concrete proposal in there. I saw a list of requirements that
all dealt with the database of questions and how the databases could be
