For those of you who are somewhat new to our little corner of the world,
the "honey" Tom refers to is Peter Honeyman.

I don't remember that one, but I do remember honey giving TWO WiPs in a
single time slot!

I'll second this. Way Back When, the idea behind WiPs was to give a
sneak preview of the paper you were going to write for next year's
conference. Or it was for people to be able to say, "I'm thinking of
writing a paper on this; should I, or am I crazy?" Keep 'em short,
sweet, and to the point -- and then hope for feed-back after the
session.
