Now the truth in advertising problem has 
to be addressed.

Discovery based systems are easy, but 
agent-based communication and negotiation 
is a tough tough problem.  Smart vendors 
will ask the form, fit, and function 
questions to figure out what "minimal" 
means.  I have to hope customers do 
that too.
