>Would it be possible to put together all such 'Work arounds'/'Gotchas' together in a single document for the uninitaited, so that they could start fore-warned?
There's a certain amount of fear that such a document may scare anyone away... but then, having such a document included with W95, IE, NC, VB, toaster, road, typewriter... would probably have lots of adverse consequences (I write SF, too, but really can't imagine such a world :).
