yeah, this is a tricky sorting challenge!

I discovered last year that the kids in my life really really like both
sm and sl.  while sl is arguably designed and written by BOFH's for
BOFH's (or for their poor users), kids love it.  and while sm seems to
have been written by university students for university students, it's
also great fun for kids who are learning their letters in an
unstructured environment (or with an adult playing with them).

Given that neither upstream group appears to have had kids directly in
mind, it's hard to say how we would make use of the proposed "objective"
policy either in these cases :/

I like the idea of doing this a lot, but i am finding myself stumbling
over the details.
