Spot on! :). As I just mentioned in my last email, there is a Sphere 
Project which is looking at exactly this.  It sounds like you have some 
good input Alejandro, so please do consider joining the Sphere project 
"Chapter Multi Criteria Analysis" team (this is truly a bottom up effort 
too). The more people involved the better!

The web pages are at:

Best wishes and look forward to seeing you in Sphere :).

Anne
