Huh. I'd heard some rumors to that effect, and Donald's blog had an interesting entry about the whole idea, but frankly I wouldn't have imagined it as anything other than an über-longshot. Granted, it still may be a longshot, but I find it interesting that they're apparently looking at it seriously at all. The article mentioned May 27, wonder if anything ever came from it.
