One thought that I had while we were having this brainstorming session a 
couple days ago is that we could provide some sort of "basic" CDR 
interpretation layer that would collect all of the records for a call, 
and generate some sort of simple single record out of it.  That way, if 
all people need is basic call records, and they agree with the 
assumptions built in to this interpretation layer, then they could use that.
