Sounds great, thanks! I actually kind of like the xenosophont clause, it separates the universe from "softer" sci-fi - a lot of settings (Star Trek/Wars, etc.) have so many sapient species it makes it look like almost every solar system is populated. Plus, as you said, it places a focus on making each species well-realized, and from what I can see most are excellently done (personally I like the Cthonids, their article is great).
Anyway, thanks again for the guidance! I'll spend some time browsing the GA and discussion boards, and hopefully I'll get around to contributing some ideas soon.
