NC,

I'm not sure if you are thinking along the same lines as Nikolas'
proposal. He is talking about the overall application architecture.
Isn't PEAR only a set of components that can be connected by inserting
them into an application archeticture?

I'm not sure why you disagree with Nikolas' proposal. As you say, the
buyer only cares about the feature set, cost and responsive
implementation. The last two are products of the architecture. I think
Nikolas' proposal is very valid because after the sales pitch is
successful the developers have to sit down and type something. What
they type is determined by the architecture upon which they have
agreed. This discussion is about agreeing on the architechture.
