The Consortium staff, I would imagine, hasn't unlimited time (and
energy) to keep up with the volume and might appreciate an organized
approach to the torrent of X related information coursing through the
list at present.  So, a question to the Consortium folks who do this
work and care about this particular issue: Would splitting up the list 
to mirror some of the proposed newsgroup categories be such an 
administrative chore as to be prohibitive as contrasted to the benefits 
of breaking it up?

I'm in agreement with Bob that the list maintainers have much of the
say as to what will eventually be done.
