Yep, nice to drop some toplap ideas and watch the ripples! At some
point I'll go through all the comments and find the ones that have are
actually good and insightful - there was at least one post that appeared
recently that suggested some more early prior-art.

I quite like the idea of the text standing alone, letting people just
imagine what it might sound like. When we're ready for the big toplap
push I guess we'll have some sound and video recordings on the site...
Those who will have their interest piqued will then be able to see and
hear the recordings within the fuller context of TOPLAP.
