Oh, right, now I see "shareable image libraries" in that quoted paragraph.
Somehow, I glossed over that detail and kept reading "shareable images"...

It might be my way of reading that's a bit off, but yeah, I'm thinking that a discrete
sub-sectioning to emphasise a little more that one is about shareable images and
the other about shareable image libraries, that might help.  If you've been immersed
in a world that talk in terms of "shared libraries" (which I have), it's easy to get lost
in the nuances between "image" and "library".

Anyway, thank you for your clarifications...  and for your patience, which is noted.
I feel quite enlightened :-)

Cheers,
