I tend to build the simplest possible thing that is useful enough to 
work.  The data is getting stored and shown now, where it wasn't 
before.  If it's possible to expose that in additional ways later too, 
great.  The big step up for this information is to go from 
"unobtainable" to "obtainable".  I'd prefer not to add a quest for 
"easily obtainable" to the requirements until that big jump is made, for 
fear it will cause nothing to get delivered.
