	Let me make a suggestion.

	We could set a concrete date ASAP for later in the week,
	spread that information as quickly as possible to news sites.
	Rather than postponing indefinitely, we postpone _definitely_.
	This prevents confusion, uncertainty, and loss of credibility.

	Then, if the talks go very well, if Adobe does a 180, we can think
	about cancelling that event.  I think it could still be early
	enough to do something like this without losing steam.  Thoughts?
