Has anyone ever considered the possiblity of "Beta Testing" major 
revisions. We can provide a link from the current site (or page) to a site 
(or page) being tested. This exposes it broadly without "releasing" it and, 
most importantly, without yet getting rid of the old.

This tends to yield much better feedback than handing a semi-secret URL to 
a small number of people.

   There was relatively little feedback about the test site, but
what little there was was very good feedback. Almost none of the
comments that people are making now would ever have surfaced,
though, if it hadn't moved to a live site, because most of the
people giving feedback now couldn't have been expected to take
the time to participate in a test program, and didn't.
