I have never had problems with the original (Berlin) roadmap, frankly, so
far as the substance of it goes. To me, if the text*s* are clear, and the
ideas are sound, the substance is sound, and re-arranging the substance is
an editorial endgame lots of us are well-equipped to play and offer help
with. Any work that is substantive, therefore, will not be "wasted."
