Frank, I thought vocabularies were being de-emphasized though, in favor of the 
newer 'sources' component?  Vocabularies were good for short lists of choices, 
but because it read them all into memory at once not so good at lazy 
evaluation.  Sources supposedly uses an iterator and is good for both short 
and long lists, as I roughly understand it.
