Hmmm... Now that you said it does seem obvious, but I guess it's not when
you haven't seen it :-) I think this example should be part of the docs.

That explanation made things clear to me, although it's not much longer than
the one in the docs. Maybe you should use the version you sent me now :-)

That's it so far. I'll be start using 1.0-beta 1 more intensively next week.
BTW, do you plan to change the public API for 1.0 final? I'll start working
on a new project tomorrow and I intend to use AW 1.0b1 if its public API is
going to remain somewhat stable.
