Actually, since you and Wayne already worked through these on the list, why don't you go ahead and add the two examples to the wiki?

We can always revert back to a previous version of the wiki page if we discover new info that mod's your examples.  I see value with having these more real-world examples up on the wiki rather than buried in the mailing list.
