Summary: What about sew-ups?

I may be missing the point here, but I can't help but think of the
baldies that have been around for years--that is sew-ups for track, 
etc.  Of course, no one would ride those on the street in the rain.
What is it that has changed that clinchers can do that sew-ups
couldn't?  Is this new rubber compounding or what?  It seems that all
the advantages that going smooth on a clincher brings you would be
just as advantageous (if not more so) on a sew-up.  Can sew-ups answer
this challenge with some heavy-duty, yet flexible, baldies???

Remember: fixing flats is an important part of total body fitness, so
often overlooked in the leggy sport of cycling. (:-)
