THAT is what _I_ think makes the most sense in this discussion
so far. Sure, agreeing upon a general design concept is
necessary but it is also necessary to actually write the code.
I have found that hiding complexity in classes and writing
more or less complicated caching/hashing/automagicallizing
classes naturally flows from the problem at hand. Usually
after a while several problems appear related. At which point
I rewrite parts of the whole.
