That is why I am trying to establish which
engineering features have the potential for
creating path dependencies and what degree.
Then the business decisions are clearer. To
do that, one must compare the payoffs of each
choice. I have to discard Fielding's
"unforeseen benefits" because while one
can sell a car by telling the buyer it will
get them laid, one doesn't write that into
the contract.

I think we need to know whether this is an engineering discussion or a
business discussion to figure out which criteria are important.
