Marco and I considered this, actually, and after playing around with how to do 
it in reality ... decided against it for being too messy / ugly.

Still doing research (will let you know once I have sth; handy to have a 
pschologist in the house who works in a dpt with lots of behaviorial psych

criterion" part working, we may have (at least the start of) a decent 
solution.
