Colour me incredibly surprised! I was very doubtful about this paper which I submitted to a workshop on the grounds that I had done the work and I was probably going to the workshop anyway and, if the worst came to the worst, at least writing down what I'd done would be a useful exercise in arranging my thoughts. The paper was quite apologetic and its message could be sumarised as "someone ought to do something about this, but not the way I attempted." The referees begged to differ and said they thought my results were better than I did, moreover one of them made a very useful suggestion which might well work a lot better than the approach I took. I can't do anything about that in time for the camera-ready copy for the informal proceedings (due at the end of this week) but might be able to implement and evaluate it in time for the formal post-proceedings. It's also a solo author paper which is a good thing, since I don't have many of those.
