For example, I was really surprised when they released the Soulknife and the (can't remember) classes from the ExPsiHb to the SRD.  I had had the impresstion that WotC only wanted 'core classes' in the SRD, and the supplementary classes would be kept off-limits.  Does this mean there are plans to release classes like the Swashbuckler, the Favored Soul, Warmage, etc?Also, might releasing OA stuff be difficult because of some agreement WotC and AEG have?  Finally, I'm not sure WotC would consider low sales a reason to release material from book liek the Stronghold Builder's Guidebook.  Putting the material out for free might eliminate whatever (however few) potential sales are left for that book.  And again, what is WotC's strategy for releasing material to the SRD?  Rules on strongholds are not really essential for most people's games.</blockquote>
