Right.  I made this joke to Anil already, but let me repeat it because
I'm easily amused:

Some people were expecting this document to be a constitution, of the
continental Europe and American kind.  Instead, it's more like the
British state:  there is an emphasis on time-honored best practices,
fair discussions, jurisprudence; Anil as the current prime minister;
and I as the benevolent but almighty Queen.

As shocking as it is to people raised in Napoleonic law, the British
state works.  Why wouldn't this document work too?

Wow.  I hope this is one of those credit cards where you get frequent
flyer miles or other loyalty points :-)

Do you think this is sustainable in the long term?  And do you have an
idea of how much CPU power and storage space this represents?  (Just
curious.)
