Only the usual problem: careless and shortsighted programmers will see
their programs bomb or screw up, and programmers who followed the Apple
guidelines will be OK.  Ever since "day one" it's been possible to look
up the screen size (width and height) and location in low memory.  But
when memory went from 128K to 512K, how many programs wrote the screen
in the wrong place?  How many won't work on the Mac XL?
