Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to this- I've been buried under stuff like you would not believe.
Anyway, what I think I'm going to do with this (and with Whimsey's response as well) is toss a link into my essay to this comment, because my own rambles did go on for so long. I still have another 1,000 words to play with, but I'm going to use them up myself, I'm afraid. Because you have some totally awesome thoughs here that I'd like for people to see, even if I can't quote them directly myself.
If that made any sense at all... I swear, this essay is eating my brain. :)
