That is a much more interesting approach in my  eyes, combining OBTs and an
interface for editing, rather than fiddling with old TS as is. Kasper and
Robert should enter this discussion as they have been brainstorming about
TS2 recently. We would definitely want to have some system for editing
serving any kind of flavour, wouldn't we.
