I agree that the microeconomy is a great idea.  I think more registered 
useres should vote their $$ more often, but they don't.

Most of the people with strong feelings about changes to the language 
*are* registered users.  Registered users should have a greater say than 
unregistered users when it comes to proposed changes to the language. 
They are RDS paying customers, after all. I think that if people pledged 
microbucks towards changes the most popular requests would readily make 
themselves known.

I think this would be too chaotic and Rob would have less incentive to 
make changes that he either doesn't want to work on or fundamentally 
disagrees with.

Now if we could get a leader and a requirements document...
