I think there is a lot we can do, but (imho) we need a plan for  
deflecting public angst over this.  My current plan has two elements:

1. try and get courts to work with us so we clean at the source, they  
take responsibility for propogating changes
2. we embed lawyer names/numbers and maybe even clerk name/numbers in  
each doc to close the feedback loop

Simply making the data searchable (and walkable) from Google isn't  
enough (yet) but I do think we can solve this problem this year.
