I agree about doing something else than just a survey,
but I'd find it hard to do a list of things that have
not been done before at all (heck, if I knew any good
ones, I'd do them myself  :-)   ). In fact, while I
like the "cost based" approach a lot and think that
Bob's work looks truly interesting, it's not in the
category of "work that hasn't been tried before".

1. there's all this work on congestion pricing,
the mackie-mazon auction scheme and so on ...

2. there's Bob's own work  :)

I think that the list that Keshav asked me to start
with is a good idea. Now I just need to find the time
(enough time to also clear my head a little bit before
I get started with this... I really need a fresh mind
for it)

Cheers,
Michael
