   I mean that the binding is correct with respect to the language's
semantics.  The question is about how this binding would occur (by what
rules) and about ensuring that the binding is instead to the "Me" the
user would naturally intend.

   They're not conflicting.  Localized cost is as we learned it this
semester: you incur the cost when you use the feature.  Distributed cost
suggests the cost is distributed relatively uniformly to the points where
the feature is used.

   I had an answer from your #2 or #3 in mind when I asked the question.
I continue to believe either would be fine.  I agree that #1 is too easy, and
it is *not* what I had in mind.  This question is about the difficulty of
programming in true visual languages.  Make the case.
