And I can speak from bitter personal experience about books that were prematurely published (although I don't think that's what Mr D is talking about).

I think there is a case for saying that maybe D2 should be frozen first, and then, 6 months later, after the show-stopping issues had been sorted, the book could be published.

I agree that a book that you can read while you are sitting with the family watching TV has advantages over an on-line document.
