I seem to recall that work on this was published a
number of years ago. I have a paper on it
somewhere and am trying to lay my hands on it. One
wonders why the resurgence in interest? It's
practical application (large commercial
operations) could cause a few logistical hic'ups
(additional dispensers, etc.). Perhaps this is
what has been cleared up now.
