A point of order on the "ART" acronym.  For the sake of consistent 
branding I should point out that we've decided to stick with "AR - Astro 
Runtime" and ACR/ASR to distinguish between the client and server 
variants.  Actually, it's really because we can't be bothered changing 
the promotional merchandise (T shirts, mugs etc).  For the same reason, 
we decided not to go with "Flexible Astro Run Time".

PS
I'm joking about the merchandise.  It's an idea though...we could 
promote our work at the IVOA with free Plastic Mugs, Plastic Pens..... ;-)
