You're right.  I would be happy to be proven wrong, though!

I guess my main concern is that I don't want to compromise quality of  
the new interface for the sake of making it exactly backwards  
compatible with manager 1.1.  Given the work that was done to improve  
consistency in manager 1.1, It may not be an issue.  We'll see!

shortly ...
