get a reply sometime. As it is I've got  4 replies in 2 hours! This
reflects the excitement of the topic and probably means that we shall have
several different micro-contributions in the chapter. Because of the
difficulty of coordinating a football team I've tentatively said we should
restrict it to Europe (also helps with timezones) and we've also got a
contributor from India.

Great news! There are no formal page limits. If you sail past 8 pages it
might be time to consider slowing down, and after 12 pages it's almost
certainly time to take a break, but that said... whatever is needed to get
the job done.
