[APBeta] Seeing/Transparency

[Paul Kemp]

I see the rationale for *b*, but I think that *a* is probably the best
option. Offers functionality and ease. I am starting to see APv2 getting
more complicated regarding logging observations.

When I log observations 3000+, I just take the general feel for seeing over
the whole session.
