I'm not sure I follow the reasoning behind having 3 distinct  
queries.  Are we ever really going to be able to only issue one of  
these 3 queries?   At any given moment, items can move between 2 of  
the sets -- will we always be able to predict what those 2 sets will be?

Is this a schedule thing, or a result of some other limitation?
