Josh,

I was the first one to raise this issue a couple of months ago, and 
fortunately I've finally convinced my company that all the hack jobs we 
kept coming up with to avoid fixing this were a waste of time.  Once I 
wrap up some work I've got in progress I'm going to start working on a 
solution.  Hopefully get started in about a week.  Stand by for questions 
;-).
