	Not impractical as the famous last words of someone who doesn't
have to do it. 33.6k is finally falling so 56.6k can become the
most common dialups so switching to doubling (by the time it is
done) should not harm the download time per voter. The second can
be smaller size and lower quality as it would just be a proof
against raster rendering so both storage and bandwidth are not
really harmed. 

	But then it gets complicated and technical requirements to
english speakers often fail. Language barriers are still real
barriers. But I did just find a dutch site yesterday announcing
the dutch version of the site would no longer be updated. The
common internet language wouldn't bother me if it were Italian or
Swahili -- only if it were French. Just wish there were only one.
