Yes, as above, localization is one of the areas where the subjective
nature of the data we are dealing with is more evident.  I actually
don't really know how localization fits yet in this model... possibly
a user definable filter similar to moderation.

ONE MORE THOUGHT - THIS LOCALIZATION ASPECT COULD BE BEAUTIFUL.  A MAP SHOWING
YOU LOCATION OF RESPONSES, AND USERS COULD CLICK ON THE LOCATION CLOSEST TO
THEM, READ WHAT THAT PARTICULAR USER WROTE/ADDED...  WELL, MAYBE NOT THAT, BUT
YOU DIG.  BUT HOW WOULD SORTING BY LOCATION ALLOW USERS TO LEARN LOCALIZED
INFO IF USER COMMENTS ARE ALL WOVEN TOGETHER?  OR WOULD THERE BE A SPECIFIC
INPUT CATEGORY FOR LOCALITY-SPECIFIC COMMENTS?  AM I MAKING SENSE?  I GUESS
I'M ALSO WONDERING HOW LOCALIZATION FITS IN - IT WOULD BE A VERY VALUABLE
FEATURE.
