Thanks Ran for the clarification.

As a MSEC-newbie I can offer the non-scientific opinion that size matters. Since I intend to read all these, a nice readable size would be very helpful in segmenting the work into grey-matter digestable chunks.

So many small drafts would probably help resolve issues better is the readability should be better and more encapsulated (not less than 3 pages :)

Cheers, Rod.
