I'm planning a Tufte-style two-dimensional FAQ that shows how one
proposal begets criticism begets answer begets next question, in a big
tree format, so at least we can point to it and say "the issues you
raise have been addressed, but they lead to other issues, and today the
debate is focused here, here, and here; they are the open issues, this
is where people's assumptions differ."  That helps bring newbies up to
speed.

I'm doing this in Adobe Illustrator, if anyone is familiar with that
maybe we can work together.
