We have definitely commissioned the task for the CMF 1.2 release, but
have not yet begun the effort to generalize the consulting work we have
done.  What we *do* have is Jeffrey's "inception" document for composite

I had originally planned to branch 1.2 for release by the end of October;
a number of other priorities have interfered, and I am re-evaluating that
goal.
