Re: Standard features and those you buy

[Tony Chung <tonyc -at- tonychung -dot- ca>]

Hey Charlotte,

I second Richard's suggestion to coordinate with Marketing. You could also
help them to understand the implications of "optional" meaning the customer
doesn't have to use it, and "premium", or "paid add-on", meaning features
that would make the customer's life easier if only they used them.
