Wow,
This has elicited quite a response!
One of the reasons I ask is because my area of
concentration (Middle Eastern Studies, specifically of the
Arabian Peninsula) does not come up very often at all. Of
course this is relatively specialized and has very
little to do with what questions I get (although it does
help occasionally). In any cases, any futher incite on
the subject would be great to
see.

P.S. There's still plenty of room for D2K1...
