I think that is true of a genuine HOWTO. I do wish someone would produce a survey of the strategies used by major applications, though. It would make assessing existing solutions for their strengths and weaknesses so much easier. Its something large numbers of us do independantly, with consequent wasting of humanity's precious resources. I'm not volunteering, so I can't expect anyone else to either. It would be real useful, though.
