Everything is possible.
But consider these questions.

- Would the AFFIX approach not work ?
- Which one is easier to implement ?
- Which one is faster to implement ?
- Which one will be easier to add to OO.o ?
- Which one will have wider deployment and acceptance ?

To me, the answer of these questions is what makes me go with the
AFFIX approach.
