Well, professional obligations have certainly cut into my time...it's hard
to keep my publication rate high in both domains simultaneously.  :-)  In
an amusingly arcane crossover, however, I've been playing around with
putting together a document on the formal foundations of the AR system,
which would ultimately displace the more informal foundations which will
eventually be stripped from the _PRG_ due to the fact that they evidently
frighten people.  A full axiomatization of the DRF is anticipated...should
be great fun for the two or so people who would actually read it.... ;-)

I'd actually be quite interested in hearing about it, even if it has
diverged quite a bit from the baseline system...perhaps you could post
something to the list?
