It was in the paper today that they're going to start making Oysters

I'm not sure that that is entirely practical. One ought to be able to
arrive in a country and contribute revenue to its public transport
system without either having to make Web transactions long beforehand
or be ripped off.

It doesn't seem like tourists will be /required/ to order their Oysters in
advance -- this will just be another option.

I don't think it's a bad idea to promote Oyster to tourists, given how few
guide books seem to understand London's fare structure.

That's hardly a reasonable expectation when the system
has changed (every year) at greater frequency than guide
books are updated (usually every 2)
