This should be in a document tree that is referenced by this 20Q.  For 
now, just adding the name "Zones" to the list of Virtualization 
technologies would be a good start.

In other news, I need to put together materials for an inception 
scheduled for the 29th of the month.  I'd be thrilled if I could start 
with this streamlined 20Q -- I'm willing to be a test case for it.  
(This is for the Audio project.)  If the chair and/or membership agrees, 
I'll be a "beta tester" for it.  Otherwise I'll do the legacy 20Q.
