Josh, this isn't a rejection. Both Tom and I asked for more exploration
of the implications of doing as you suggest. Tom has been more helpful
than I was in providing some scenarios that would cause problems. It is
up to you to solve the problems, which is often possible. 

I can't vouch for your taste in wallpaper, but this doesn't deserve a
place in your collection...
