Feel free to add your comments to Bug 168538[1].  However, I believe 
there are enough other issues being worked on by those responsible for 
this area of WTP, that it's hard to say when there would be enough extra 
cycles to deal with that Bug.  It's marked "helpwanted" if you feel 
motivated.

Cheers,
Larry
