	The reference decoder decodes 640x480 WMV9 material in realtime on my 
AMD64 (3400+) but I know in principle that we need the open source 
decoder. To that end...

	That's the way I usually do it (RE -> English and then re-implement). I 
already have several hundred lines written, mostly for the 
initialization. I have started with the primary decoding as well, 
including CBP prediction (which I have never seen before).

	In fact, writing this English language spec is what inspired me to 
ponder on my blog about a compiler that could actually compile the spec 
directly.

	This sounds interesting. How could we structure such a Wiki? I actually 
set up my first Wiki last night on my own site, but for a completely 
frivolous project. Setting up the MediaWiki software is ridiculously 
simple.
