It would, in fact, be highly desirable to have a Xara engineer pop his/her head in here from time to time to talk about the technical feasibility, or lack of, of certain wish-list items. The lack of any response from Xara towers to the hundreds of Dear Xara posts over the years could give the cynics amongst us the impression that they do not read it and, if they do, they frankly don't care.

Come on Xara, for Pete's sake, get involved a bit. You have no idea the positive impact that could have on this type of discussion. You don't have to give away any state secrets, but simply turning up would be a flippin' novelty.
