I was trying to bring out the difference between an objective study and a 
brochure. The latter plays to a product's "spiel" and downplays other 
ligitimate concerns about it in attempt to cover up the shortcomings. You 
asked about the Unicode spec -- well I find the book about it more of a 
brochure than an objective analysis of the design choices. Though I find a 
lot of white papers overly detailed, I do find them to be objective -- but 
I'm talking about the scholarly ones.

In the case of JN's container library, I hope he won't just "high-level, 
gloss-over" the design issues and background information (i.e., history of 
and issues in container development), for I believe that will be key in 
having a good story to tell.
