In other words, I'd still like a decision theory that does well on some suitably defined class of ASP-like problems, even if that class is wider than the class of "TDT-fair" problems that Eliezer envisioned. Of course we need a lot of progress to precisely define such classes of problems, too.

It would be useful to have list of problems that TDT can handle, a list that current specifications of UDT can handle and a list that are still in the grey area of not quite resolved. Among other things that would make the difference between TDT and UDT far more intuitively clear!
